Halstead Boxing Club and Martial Arts Centre will be hosting a special open day on Saturday to mark the official opening of their new facilities following a successful grant from Sport England.

The funding has enabled significant improvements to be made to facilities at the club’s gym in in Factory Lane West, Halstead.

It will allow them to cater for a growing membership and to secure the longevity and stability of the club and members of the public are being invited to attend the open day in order to view the gym, meet coaching staff and watch boxing and Muay Thai demonstrations.

Refreshments will also be available with the events going on between noon and 3pm.
