Leisure World Highwoods Closure – Wednesday 16 September 2026

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Leisure World Highwoods will be closed for the entire day on Wednesday 16 September.  We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.


Outdoor Rapids to Close Ahead of Exciting Leisure Pool Refurbishment

As preparations continue for the major refurbishment of the Leisure Pool, the outdoor rapids will close with immediate effect.

The temporary closure is needed to allow essential preparatory work to take place ahead of the Leisure Pool refurbishment programme, which begins when the pool closes on 28 September.

While the outdoor rapids will be unavailable, all other Leisure Pool attractions will remain open as normal until the main refurbishment closure starts later this month.

The refurbishment will deliver significant improvements to the Leisure Pool, creating a refreshed and improved experience for visitors when it reopens.

We appreciate this may be disappointing for some customers and thank everyone for their patience as we prepare for these exciting improvements. Further updates on refurbishment plans will be shared over the coming weeks.
