The Hurst Pool Closure

Why is the pool closing? 

The Hurst Pool pool will be closed for refurbishment from late March 2026. The refurbishment will bring a fresh and modern feel to the centre, extending its lifespan and improving your experience.

Planned improvements include:
• Brand-new changing rooms – modernisation of the area including new showers, toilets, changing cubicles and lockers, as well as a vanity area
• Improved energy efficiency to reduce environmental impact
• Improved decoration throughout the centre

How long is the pool closing for? 

The works are due to commence in late March 2026 with the view to re-open in late summer 2026. We will keep this webpage updated with any developments and will contact you via email shortly with a confirmed closure date. We will also email you when The Hurst Pool is due to re-open. We look forward to welcoming you back to the newly refurbished facility later this year.
