24 May Everything you need to know about Chelmsford Family Fun Weekend
Chelmsford City Council is organising a free family fun weekend on 28-30 May at its four Leisure Centres to encourage people to get active and find a sport that suits them.
Free gym and exercise taster sessions will be on offer, including a whole range of fitness activities from parkour to Hatha yoga and martial arts to trampolining. There will also be an opportunity to trial the ever-popular City Camps and try a new sport no matter what your age, such as badminton, ice skating and snorkelling.
Chelmsford City Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure, Councillor Julia Jeapes, says:
We’re very fortunate to offer the City of Chelmsford four Leisure Centres, which can cater for all of the family’s fitness needs. The Family Fun Weekend will offer over 60 free sessions, such as a special ‘Musical Splash’ for pre-schoolers, inflatable fun for 8-16 year olds, scuba diving tasters for those aged over eight and a range of fitness and weight loss workshops for those over 14. Whatever your age this open weekend is a great opportunity to pop down to your local Leisure Centre and try a new sport or re-introduce yourselves to something you used to love.
All trials and taster sessions need to be booked in advance and some sessions, such as swimming, require a small fee (£1), please call the sports centre direct. The Open Weekend will be taking place at the Riverside Ice and Leisure Centre, Victoria Road, Chelmsford, CM1 1FG T: 01245 615079; Chelmsford Sport and Athletics Centre, Salerno Way, Chelmsford, CM1 2EH T: 01245 605666; Dovedale Sports Centre, Vicarage Road, Chelmsford, CM2 OJQ T: 01245 605685 and South Woodham Ferrers Leisure Centre, Trinity Square, South Woodham Ferrers, CM3 5JU T: 01245 605600.
