Community

We’ve made it our mission to inspire people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to follow a lifelong passion for sport and healthy living through the provision of world-class sport and exercise facilities and sports programmes accessible to everyone.

Our village is YOUR village

Bolton Arena is a hub for a variety of local sports clubs.

We host everyone from elite athletes to walking sports clubs and all levels in between, catering for all ages, able-bodied and disabled athletes and participants.

Our business and events facilities bring employers and entertainers to the town, and we host free community open days to showcase everything we have to offer.

Join us in creating a better Bolton!

Sports Camps

Our school holiday sports camps are an excellent way for children to stay busy and active – there’s no time for them to say, ‘I’m bored’!

Our gymnastics camp will give children the opportunity to use a wide range of apparatus, including beams, boxes, trampettes, air track and bars, as well as performing routines. All sessions will be delivered in a fun and safe environment.

Our Multi-Sports and Tennis Camps provide children with opportunity to learn and develop skills, coordination, balance, and teamwork in a variety of team sports and tennis. Each day is action-packed with activities that will challenge children in a variety of ways. All sessions will be delivered by our qualified LTA level 3 coaches.
