Hucknall Leisure Centre and Lammas Leisure Centre are set to celebrate their huge refurbishments by hosting an Open Weekend on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 January.

Both venues, run by Everyone Active in partnership with Ashfield District Council, have unveiled a wide range of activities which the community can enjoy.

This will allow people to see and experience the state-of-the-art facilities on their doorstep, the result of a £22.5million investment in leisure across the District, which includes the upcoming Kirkby Leisure Centre in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

A range of free and paid-for activities will take place across Hucknall and Lammas over the Open Weekend. These are split into timed sessions which can be booked via the Everyone Active app or through reception.

At Hucknall, virtual fitness classes, rig classes and a free squash tournament are due to take place.

Taster swim lessons and sessions with the new pool inflatable are also on offer, as are badminton, table tennis and Active Antz.

Lorenzo Clark, Everyone Active's Contract Manager, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to see the huge range of upgrades at Lammas and Hucknall over the past year.

"We are really looking forward to welcoming the public and showing there is something for everyone at the centres, no matter what your age, interests or ability."

Councillor Rachel Madden, Cabinet Member for Health & Wellbeing, said: "After millions of pounds of investment, Lammas and Hucknall leisure centres are some of the best in the area with state-of-the-art facilities to suit all interests and fitness levels.

"I'd encourage all residents to come down to the Open Weekend and check out the fantastic range of activities available.

"There has never been a better time to enjoy our leisure centres, and with the new Kirkby Leisure Centre due to open in June, we really are leading the way with our leisure transformation."

Hucknall Leisure Centre has undergone a raft of impressive upgrades, including a new 120-station gym filled with state-of-the-art equipment. A new earth studio focusing on holistic activities such as Pilates, yoga and barre has been introduced, as have an indoor cycling studio and main studio. Front of house has been refurbished and a new wellbeing hub has been added for community groups. Work on the new wetside changing village is due to be completed soon, while planning permission for the new £2.7m teaching pool was granted by Ashfield District Council in December.
