Amir Khan unveils new £11.5m ‘Dubai-style’ luxury wedding venue next to a car wash and fly-tipping spot in Bolton – as boxer reveals it is due to open in six weeks despite looking like a construction site.
Piles of rubbish dumped by fly-tippers surround ex world boxing champ Amir Khan’s £11.5million wedding venue – completely destroying the luxurious feel of a bride’s special day.
Broken fridges, settees and dirty mattresses have been discarded against the perimeter walls of the lavish Dubai-inspired complex. While mounds of household rubbish lay
Chunks of rendering are already missing from the walls encasing the building, along with damaged brickwork at the entrance to the venue.
The lavish complex – named ‘The Balmayna’ – has eye-catching features with glass walls, a waterfall and palm trees inside – along with greenery and a floral design.
Khan, now 37, has been planning ‘The Balmayna’ – which translates to ‘enamelled’ in Arabic – since 2013, with the complex already taking bookings despite its surroundings appearing largely unfinished.
But the venue, set to open just weeks away in March, is still surrounded by a building site and sandwiched between two car washes – despite its website promising a ‘royalty experience’ and ‘a touch of magnificence and excellence in every celebration’.
