K SPORTS COBDOWN:
MUCH MORE THAN A FIRST-CLASS SPORTS HUB
K SPORTS COBDOWN IS ONE OF KENT’S MOST
EXCITING NEW VENUES. PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS
COBDOWN SPORTS AND SOCIAL CLUB, SINCE ITS
RELAUNCH TWO YEARS AGO, K SPORTS HAS CREATED
QUITE A BUZZ ACROSS THE COUNTY.
As an award-winning sports facility, K Sports
caters to the masses, from the elite
sportsperson to the grassroots community.
With a 3G and multiple grass football pitches,
a full-size artificial hockey pitch, squash courts
and a brand-new Technogym, Kent now has
a multi-sport venue to pack a punch.
Besides offering a home to K Sports clubs, the
28-acre site is now the base for the likes of
Ebbsfleet United, Dover Athletic and Saracens,
and has welcomed groups from across the
world – from America to Ascension Island –
this summer.
Not only an impressive sports hub, K Sports
is growing a reputation for it’s equally
impressive events setup. Offering a flexible
and modern space, events from business
conferences and meetings to private parties
and wedding receptions tak e place at K Sports.
Not to mention ‘K Events’ from comedy nights
to live music bashes, which are becoming a
regular sell-out occurrence.
