Active Stirling enjoyed an “unforgettable day” welcoming Prince William and Princess Catherine to their PEAK sports village this week (20 January).
Their visit, part of the Prince and Princess of Wales tour around Stirling and Falkirk, began with meeting the Team GB and Paralympics GB Curling teams, who are currently preparing for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Milano Cortina this February and March.
They even took to the ice themselves, quickly getting to grips with the sport and showing just how engaging curling can be.
Organisers praised the turnout saying it was “truly heart-warming to see the incredible turnout from the community, both outside and inside The PEAK”.
Prince William and Princess Catherine took time to shake hands, chat with as many people as possible, and shared some especially lovely moments interacting with the children throughout their visit.
Matt Bunnell, Active Stirling Chief Executive said: “From an Active Stirling perspective we felt extremely honoured to welcome the Prince and Princess of Wales to The PEAK on their visit to the National Curling Academy.
“It was wonderful to see them connecting with the community and I am sure their visit would have further inspired the curling athletes prior to their departure to the Winter Olympics next month.”
A proud and memorable moment for Active Stirling, The PEAK, the National Curling Academy, and the whole Stirling community.
