Radcliffe Leisure Centre will close its doors for the last time on Sunday to make way for Radcliffe’s new secondary school.

New state-of-the-art leisure facilities will be built at the Radcliffe Hub, a key part of multi-million pound plans to regenerate the town centre.

The Hub will also feature a new library, learning opportunities, community space and enhanced support for health and wellbeing.

For more details of the new Hub, see leisure facilities and Radcliffe Hub.

In the meantime, starting on 8 January, there will be a programme of fitness activities delivered by our regular instructors at St Philips Community Centre in Higher Dean Street, Radcliffe. For all the details, see https://buryleisure.bury.gov.uk/activities/fitness-classes-and-gentle-exercise/fitness-in-radcliffe

Alternative leisure facilities are also available at Castle Leisure Centre in Bury and at Ramsbottom Pool and Fitness Centre.

The new 750-place Star Academy Radcliffe will open its doors next September for its first intake of pupils into Year 7. For all the details of the new school, see Radcliffe’s new secondary school.
