Open day at Grangemouth Stadium to show community all venue has to offer

The event on Saturday, May 16 is being organised by Grangemouth Community Sports Trust and offers people from the town and further afield the chance to come along and see what opportunities the stadium holds as a community building.

The open day is designed to give the whole community a chance to try new sports, trial different wellness activities, meet local groups and discover local crafters and small businesses.

This weekend’s event is the first open day held by the trust since it took over the running of the venue from Falkirk Council.

A spokesperson for the Grangemouth Community Sports Trust, explained: “At the open day on Saturday we will be hosting businesses, sole traders who offer services and products to the local community; inflatables and a chance for people to trial some of the activities we provide within the stadium.

"We will be hosting CVS Falkirk, who will be bringing industrial personnel to the event, offering a look into the future of Grangemouth and how it will impact on us as a whole.

"We will also be offering other charities from the local and wider area to show what they do and how people can help.”

Among those charities who will be represented on the day are Strathcarron Hospice, Cats Protection and the Loo Crew.

There will be a fun fair running outside in the stadium car park.

The trust will also be launching the availability of letting spaces within the stadium and the possibility of others using the stadium as a conference and event space for both public and private events.

The spokesperson added: “In our view, there is something for everyone.”

A quiet ASN only session will run at Grangemouth Stadium from 10am to noon on Saturday, before the event opens to the general public from noon until 3pm.
