A FUN day to celebrate the £70,000 refurbishment of a leisure centre takes place this weekend.

Bolton Council and Bolton Community Leisure Trust are holding the event at Leverhulme Leisure Centre, in Long Lane, on Saturday.

The fun begins at 9.30am with a free yoga session and continues until 5pm.

Residents will be able to enjoy a host of other free activities including virtual spin at 11am, junior gym at 1pm and gymnastics sessions at 2pm and 2.45pm.

There will also be high-intensity interval training throughout the day.

The yoga session must be booked in advance. Residents should reserve their place by contacting the centre on 334272

The leisure centre has benefited from an upgrade over the past few months and now boasts high quality state of the art facilities, including a virtual spin room, where people can ride computerised bikes accompanied by a soundtrack and screen.

It also features a refurbished strength gym, with updated equipment.
