Came here for a swim. The online form was annoying and confusing. Managed to eventually book and pay online. No queue on arrival. Pool area was quite clean. Take your own padlocks for the lockers they have done away with tokens and 50p lockers. That I find very annoying. Spa was clean and relaxing I stayed in the jacuzzi for ages as I was so relaxed. My Mum tried the steam room and sauna and said they were good

Happened to be passing by and found the leisure centre was holding a roller skating session, which our boys tried and really enjoyed. The staff were super helpful and guided our boys as beginners.

Perfect menu to treat my boy after swimming ( small pizza take 3 min to do, but make sure you have time to cool the pizza down. Tip: Better to order it while you child is swimming)

We use the soft play here atleast once a week and swimming and splash pad once a week. The prices are super reasonable and I never feel rushed with the time limits. My only issue is that trying to contact the centre is nesrly impossible, I've sent 3 emails about various things and they have never been replied to. I've called and the answer is to always email so it's a circle!
