We are delighted to announce that BLAST will be hosting British boxing legend Frank Bruno MBE on November 12th at North Edinburgh Arts.

With November being men’s mental health awareness month we wanted to make a powerful statement in addressing it and what better way.

Frank Bruno MBE is a former WBC world heavyweight champion who has faced many challenges in boxing and with mental health and we are delighted he is going to share some of these stories with us on the night.

The evening will consist with doors opening at 6 with some welcoming refreshments (non alcoholic), a photo with Frank and then listening to Franks journey. With the evening coming to an end around 8.15.

Tickets are on sale now for all BLAST members or affiliations.

On general sale from September 18th.

Please note, tickets are limited to only 100. This is a very small and intimate event.
