Leisure & Culture

Situated just outside Kidsgrove town centre the sports centre is easily accessible and has free parking.

The 25m x 12.5m pool is open for early morning, lunchtime, evening and weekend swimming. There is also a teaching pool and a range of lessons are available for both adults and children.

The Health Suite is open every day and offers the perfect way to relax with its sauna cabin, eucalyptus steam room and relaxation area.

The sports hall caters for activities such as 5-a-side football, netball, volleyball, badminton, basketball, gymnastics, cricket and volleyball. Outside there is an astro turf pitch which is used for football, rugby and hockey training.

The centre holds classes including  20:20 body conditioning, spinning, aerobics, boxercise and lifesaving so there is bound to be something to suit everyone.

We have 'The Challenge' in the main pool every Saturday 1 - 2pm.
