Kettering Conference Centre

28/06/2023

As we have previously communicated, we have been running Kettering Conference Centre at a loss for a number of years. The sharp increase in energy and operating costs have made this unsustainable, therefore Kettering conference centre will not reopen and will close on 3 July as planned.

We are pleased to confirm the Balance Health Club and Arena Sports Centre, located on the same site, will be remaining open, following the announcement that Phoenix Leisure Management will be taking over operations from 4 September 2023.

To read the full statement, please head to our website.

We would like to thank all those who have used and supported the conference centre over the years.

We are pleased to confirm that following ongoing discussions with North Northamptonshire Council and Phoenix Leisure Management, a decision in principle has been made subject to the various approvals required, that the Lighthouse Theatre, Arena Sports Centre and Balance Health Club will now remain o...

We have heard the concerns raised by the local community about the closure of Kettering Conference Centre which includes The Lighthouse Theatre, Balance Health Club and Arena Leisure Centre. We recognise that the site and in particular the theatre and the gym are important to the community. To support our employees and give partners more time to find alternative solutions, we have agreed with the landlord an extension to our tenancy until Monday 3 July 2023. We will continue to operate the site and keep some of the facilities open until this date. As we are a tenant, going forward it is for the Landlord and the Council to decide on the future of the site or whether alternative options can be found.

As we previously stated, it has been a very difficult decision to close Kettering Conference Centre and not one we have taken lightly. We can confirm that all the businesses within the venue have been loss making for a number of years and even with the Council grant, it is no longer sustainable for us to operate. We have invested a significant amount of money into the facilities and our teams have worked hard to support all the businesses on the site.

Our teams will continue to work to process refunds for events, performances and membership in anticipation of the closure on the 3 July 2023. As this decision has recently been reached, The Lighthouse Theatre will confirm in the coming days if any shows in June will be reinstated.

We would like to thank the professionalism of our employees over recent days who are continuing to work to keep the site open and support the local community.

Thank you to everyone who has used Kettering Conference Centre over the years and the local community for its continued support and understanding.

Unfortunately, Kettering Conference Centre will be closing on Wednesday 31st May 2023. We have explored all possible alternatives and despite our best efforts to rebuild post pandemic, due to the ongoing challenging operating environment we are unable to continue to operate.

We have not taken this decision lightly and our number one priority is to support our customers accordingly and we are working hard to find alternative arrangements for any current bookings. Everybody with a booking post 31st May 2023 will receive a full refund for monies paid. If you have not heard from our team by 31st May 2023, then please email us at: [email protected]

Thank you to everyone who has used Kettering Conference Centre over the years and the local community for its continued support and understanding.

Don't forget that tomorrow is a time to appreciate our wonderful planet.

Why not have a candlelit evening, not only is it romantic but it saves energy too! Or perhaps read a book or play a board game rather than watching TV, it's a great way to spend some quality time with your loved ones.

At Kettering Conference Centre we're always looking for new ways to be more sustainable in all of our practices, including;

We aim that 80% of ingredients on our menus are to be British grown. All the chicken and milk we serve is Red Tractor assured.

We offer plant-forward menus, with a choice of great-tasting alterative proteins.

Whatever we’re cooking for your meeting or event our approach is root-to-stem, nose-to-tail. We use recycled and reusable packaging wherever we can.

Our teas and coffees come from responsible suppliers. Our chocolate is Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified.

Our climate promise is to reach Net Zero by 2030
