One last splash before the refurbishment begins
The countdown is on.
The Leisure Pool will temporarily close from 28 September 2026 while a major programme of refurbishment and improvement works is carried out.
Before then, there’s still time to enjoy everything the pool has to offer. Whether you’re racing down the flumes, or enjoying a family swim, now is your chance to visit before work gets underway.
The improvement programme will include:
- Pool relining works
- Upgraded changing facilities
- Improvements to the flumes
- Improved air ventilation
- Upgraded water features
- A new splash pad
We’re looking forward to welcoming customers back to an improved Leisure Pool in early 2027.
As preparations continue for the major refurbishment of the Leisure Pool, the outdoor rapids will close with immediate effect.
The temporary closure is needed to allow essential preparatory work to take place ahead of the Leisure Pool refurbishment programme, which begins when the pool closes on 28 September. While the outdoor rapids will be unavailable, all other Leisure Pool attractions will remain open as normal until the main refurbishment closure starts later this month.
