Robert Jennings, Contract Manager for More Leisure Community Trust, said:
“We love the Big Open Weekend as it gives us a chance to showcase everything that’s good about our centres. The weekend gives visitors the opportunity to try out our facilities for free, and experience the kind of fun, inclusive and friendly sessions we offer at each centre.
“To see what’s on offer and to book activities, visit our website. We look forward to welcoming you this weekend!”
Cllr Chewe Munkonge, Cabinet Member for A Healthy Oxford, said:
“The Big Open Weekend is a fantastic opportunity for people of all ages to get active, try something new, and experience the great facilities we have in Oxford. We want to make it as easy as possible for everyone, of all ages and abilities, to enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle, and free events like this help break down barriers to participation. I encourage everyone to come along, get involved, and have fun!”
