Olympic champion Dame Kelly Holmes will visit Cyclopark, Gravesend, to open her new cafe.

The double gold medalist will launch Café 1809 Active at the outdoor multi-sport centre on Tuesday, June 6.

The Kent middle distance athlete, who won her two gold medals in Athens in 2004, already has Café 1809 in her home town Hildenborough, near Tonbridge.

Customers are invited to "eat, drink, relax and smile" in the eatery, which sells a lot of Kent produce.

It boasts a healthy menu and offers activities such as yoga classes as well as encouraging customers to eat well and keep active using loyalty cards.

A spokesman for Dame Kelly said: "Café 1809 Active is the first lifestyle café in the area and is set to become a social hub for local people who want to be part of a likeminded, active community and feel good about themselves.

"It seeks to bring families and friends together and also support the runners, cyclists and fitness enthusiasts who visit Cyclopark.

"There is a strong emphasis on having an active lifestyle to enjoy a healthy mind and body. Kelly hopes to take the concept further with her new ‘Active’ brand, getting more people to enjoy social interaction as part of their healthy active lifestyle."

The cafe at the venue off Wrotham Road will be officially opened at a ribbon cutting ceremony at 9.45am.

From 11am guests will be invited to take to the track for a short running and technique session with Kelly followed by refreshments and a chance to chat to her in her new café.

Dame Kelly will be back to welcome afternoon visitors with a timetable of hosted running and cycling activities from 4pm onwards.
