The first Love Leigh Park Day was held at Leigh Park Community Centre in Dunsbury Way.

The community centre, which is run by Community First, held craft activities, musical performances, a free lunch, boxing demonstrations, plus more, all followed by a screening of the film Trolls in the evening.

Centre manager Dan Moore said: ‘It was very successful and we saw more than 500 people come through the doors on Saturday.’

Stalls showcased facilities available from the centre – such as the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and Leigh Park Amateur Boxing Club.

Groups in the area such as Making Space, a craft centre in Bishopstoke Road, and Angel Radio in Havant attended the event.

It was funded by an £8,528 grant from the Big Lottery Celebrate Fund. Visitors were asked to give their views on what they would like to see at the centre in a consultation, which continues today.

A coffee and cake day, which is free to attend, is being held at the centre from 12.30pm until 2.30pm today.
