What it’s like
A proper pool, soft play and a sports hall under one roof, with prices low enough for a regular Tuesday outing.
Swimming is the obvious pull here. There's a pool for splashing about in, and under-5s get in for just £1, which makes it an easy one to justify even for a short dip. The family pass at £16.90 for two adults and two kids works out cheaper than paying separately if there's four of you going.
Soft play runs by the hour rather than the visit, £6 for a child aged one and up, or £1.30 if they're under one. There's a family pass for up to four kids at £17.50 an hour, which is worth doing the maths on if you've got a few of them tumbling about. An hour goes quickly once they're in there, so don't expect to linger over a coffee while they play.
Beyond the pool and soft play there's a gym and sports court, plus a sauna and steam room if you fancy something for yourself while the kids are occupied elsewhere. Opening hours stretch properly across the week, from as early as 6am on Tuesdays and Thursdays through to 9.30pm most nights, though weekends are shorter at 9am to 4.30pm. Last entry is half an hour before closing, so don't turn up right on the bell.
One thing to watch: private bookings can close off certain facilities on specific dates, so what's available on any given day isn't guaranteed to be everything at once. Parking's on site with disabled and EV charging bays, and there's step-free access throughout including a hoist and Poolpod for the pool if you need it.

Plan your visit
How much does it cost?
Swimming is £6.30 for an adult, £3.60 for under-18s and £1 for under-5s, or £16.90 for a family of four. Soft play is £6 an hour per child, £1.30 for under-1s, with a family pass of £17.50 an hour for up to four kids.
Do we need to book?
Classes can be reserved up to seven days ahead and need paying for in advance. Waiting lists clear 24 hours before a class starts, after which any free spaces can still be booked right up to kick-off.
What if we need to cancel a class?
Give as much notice as you can. Fitness members can amend online, otherwise you'll need to contact the centre directly to sort a transfer or refund.
What are the opening hours?
Monday, Wednesday and Friday it's 7am to 9.30pm. Tuesday and Thursday it opens earlier at 6am. Weekends are shorter, 9am to 4.30pm.
Is there parking?
Yes, on-site parking with disabled bays and EV charging.
Is it accessible for wheelchairs?
There's step-free access, an accessible changing room with a hoist, and Poolpod access into the pool itself.
How long does soft play last?
It's priced by the hour, so an hour is what you get before you're paying again.
Can we do birthday parties there?
Birthday parties are something they offer at the centre.
