Have you been inspired by the gymnastics at this year’s Olympics? Get a slice of the action at Edinburgh Leisure’s annual gymnastics display. Tickets go on sale on tomorrow (Friday 4 November).

Now in its 15th year, over 1,110 gymnasts, dancers and trampolinists from nine Edinburgh Leisure venues, will be coming together to delight audiences with their annual display at Meadowbank Sports Centre on Saturday, 10 December 2016.

Gymnastics Development Officer Laura Nimmo said: “Gymnastics and trampolining are a great way to provide a healthy and active lifestyle. They have many benefits and help children to gain strength, stamina, balance, coordination, flexibility as well as self-confidence”.

“This annual event gives the children with Edinburgh Leisure’s coaching programme the opportunity to showcase what they have been working so hard on throughout the year. In addition, it allows them to see performances of all levels and inspires them to reach for the stars, or maybe even that gold, silver or bronze medal in the future.”

As well as featuring over 15 performances from Edinburgh Leisure gymnastics and trampoline clubs, there were also special guest appearances from clubs across the region, including City of Edinburgh GC, Meadowbank GC, Gracemount Ibex GC, Jack Kane GC, Kestrel GC, Enigma GC, West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre Gymnastics, East Kilbride GC and Edinburgh Spirals Trampoline Club.

Tickets are on sale from the 4th November at: www.ticketsource.co.uk/edinburghleisure  and cost £5 each (under 5’s free). Doors open at 8.45am, with the display starting at 9.00am.  There will be a morning and afternoon display. Check on Edinburgh Leisure’s website for specific details.
