27 Apr STATEMENT: KETTERING CONFERENCE CENTRE

STATEMENT RECEIVED REGARDING KETTERING CONFERENCE CENTRE:

“We regret to announce that as a result of the ongoing challenging operating environment Kettering Conference Centre, which includes The Lighthouse Theatre and Balance Health Club & Arena Sports Centre, will close on 31st May 2023. We have explored all possible alternatives and have not taken this decision lightly. Despite our best efforts to rebuild following the pandemic, and ongoing conversations with the key stakeholders, our operational costs have increased significantly over the past year. Unfortunately, even with the Council grant to support the running of The Lighthouse Theatre and Balance Health Club & Arena Sports Centre, the venue is no longer financially viable and cannot continue to operate.

“We are supporting our employees and will do all that we can to identify alternative employment. We will also make sure that customers are provided with full refunds and support they need for any upcoming events or memberships. We would like to express our thanks to the Council, local community and all those who have used the venue for their support throughout the years.”
