Huncote Leisure Centre reopens

Blaby District Council announced the reopening of Huncote Leisure Centre from 3:30pm on Monday 17 October. The reopening saw the return of customers for the first time since November 2021, when it was closed after the discovery of elevated landfill gas levels, following routine maintenance works.

With the reopening, customers once again be able to use Huncote’s facilities, including the squash courts, sports hall and gym.

Whilst Huncote Leisure Centre re-establishes itself, opening hours will be 3:30pm-9:30pm on Monday to Friday, and 8am-2pm at weekends. These opening hours will be reviewed as demand increases in the coming weeks. Everyone Active are also offering membership for the special offer of just £19.99 per month.

Blaby District Council is firmly committed to keeping the leisure centre open and continue its value as an important community asset. Significant investment has been made to make the site safe and to ensure the leisure centre could reopen.

Following the reopening, important remedial work will continue, meaning that land to the rear of the site, including the BMX track and footpath, is expected to remain closed until spring 2023.

The Children and Family Wellbeing Centre run by Leicestershire County Council opened to the public and delivering groups from the Monday 31st October 2022.
