£9m Warsop Health Hub opens its doors

A new £9m leisure centre and activity hub, designed to offer a wide range of facilities and opportunities for local residents, has opened in Nottinghamshire.

Based on Sport England’s Leisure Local model, the Warsop Health Hub houses a 15m x 8m swimming pool with a splash play area for younger children, a health club and gym featuring the cardiovascular and resistance equipment, a two-court sports hall and an improved multi-use games area. The facility will also provide community facilities, including multi-purpose spaces and an IT suite.

Funded via a mix of Sport England investment, Towns Fund and borrowing by Mansfield District Council, Warsop Health Hub has been delivered by leisure development specialist Alliance Leisure, in partnership with Abacus as project manager and principal designer, architects Roberts Limbrick and lead contractor Pellikaan Construction. The UK Leisure Framework, which is managed by Denbighshire Leisure Limited (DLL), has been used as the procurement route for sourcing the development team.

“I am thrilled that we are finally at the opening event for Warsop Health Hub, months ahead of schedule,” said Andy Abrahams, Executive Mayor for Mansfield. “In the last year, it has been a dream come true to see such progress being made to bring a community facility to the people of Warsop. Accessibility has been a consideration throughout the build.”

The centre is being managed by Serco Leisure on behalf of Mansfield District Council.
