Family Open Day tickets for youth clubs

Several Bromley families will be enjoying a free day out at Biggin Hill Airport's Family Open Day, thanks to Bromley Council's Youth Support Programme Centres and Biggin Hill Airport. 

 

The centres across Bromley provide support to young people aged between 10 and 19 years, giving them opportunities to take up new activities and improve their life choices.  The centres will be giving away 19 family tickets for free entry to the Family Open Day on Saturday, September 10.  The tickets have been donated by Biggin Hill Airport.

 

Hayley Cella, part of the youth support team at the Spitfire Youth Centre in Biggin Hill, said: "We'll be giving tickets to young people we've supported throughout the year, with priority to those who would not have had the opportunity for a family day out." 

 

"The next generation must be made aware of the airport's heritage," said Biggin Hill Airport Managing Director, Jenny Munro. "We want to see lots of youngsters here a week on Saturday, enjoying a taste of life at a front line WWII fighter base."
