Green 'Welcome to Dovedale Sports Centre' sign

As we announced in mid-March, we are planning a major refurbishment project at Dovedale Sports Centre.

These improvements will provide better facilities for everyone and will include:

  • an expanded and remodelled gym
  • an additional studio
  • new changing rooms
  • a modernised and extended reception area
  • new, more energy efficient water and heating systems

To make these exciting changes, we’ll need to close the centre during the works.

Timescale

Work will start in June 2025 and we will give you plenty of notice when the start date is confirmed.

We expect the centre to be closed until early 2026.

We will update you on how work is progressing through the project on this page and on our social media pages.

Membership

If you are a member at Dovedale, we will email you in due course to explain your membership options.

Clubs

We have already been working hard with all of our clubs to help relocate during the closure period. You can contact your club directly to find out more.
