Heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools
-
Premium group exercise studios
-
Family facilities including indoor soft play and DL Kids Club
-
Match-quality tennis, padel, pickleball and badminton facilities

The plans will also feature a Clubroom for members to meet with friends or enjoy a bite to eat, as well as spaces to work, relax and socialise. Plans also include a range of facilities for children including a soft play, and spaces for after-school and holiday clubs, offering childcare opportunities for parents outside of school hours.
The Group aims to create positive communities both inside and outside of its clubs and will explore opportunities to develop local community partnerships. David Lloyd Leisure has made a commitment to become carbon neutral by 2030 and the new Club will incorporate the latest in sustainability technology to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible.
