Works began on-site to the new £15.5m Kirkby Leisure Centre in early 2021 and we are now nearing completion on the project.

The new leisure centre was constructed alongside the existing leisure centre, Festival Hall. It brings new facilities including a 25m community pool with a moveable floor, sauna and steam rooms, fitness suite, clip and climb and adventure play. 

We have worked in collaboration with Ashfield District Council, Kinver and Hadron, GT3 Architects and Festival Hall to keep the existing leisure facilities open throughout the construction period.

Ashfield District Council has an overarching vision for a sustainable leisure facility to regenerate and inspire the local community. The scheme has been designed to support the local community’s physical well-being and create a focal point for social interaction.

Councillor Jason Zadrozny, Leader of Ashfield District Council said: “It’s an incredible feeling to be on-site and start to see where the different parts of the leisure centre will be built. 

This project is something that the people of Ashfield have been long-promised and I am confident that in partnership with Kier, we will deliver a vibrant community-based facility that will rival any other in the country.”
