Wiltshire Council hopes it will be able to tell us when Warminster Sports Centre will re-open very soon.

The organisation says work on improving the facilities is progressing well, having started in November 2024.

The fitness suite is being relocated, enlarged and improved, the fitness studio is being refurbished and the original fitness suite site is being converted into a flexible community space.

A new consultation room is also being created in the new fitness suite area.

Similar improvement projects were completed at a number of other Wiltshire Council leisure centres during 2024, including Lime Kiln Leisure Centre, Royal Wootton Bassett; The Olympiad in Chippenham; Five Rivers Health and Wellbeing Centre in Salisbury; Springfield Campus in Corsham and Devizes Leisure Centre.

Cllr Ian Blair-Pilling, Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for Leisure, said: “I’m pleased to confirm that the significant improvement works that we are undertaking at both Warminster Sports Centre and Marlborough Leisure Centre are moving along and really starting to take shape. Whilst I cannot as yet confirm when the refurbished areas will reopen for use I can assure the communities that the projects are progressing at pace and we’ll have some good news soon. I’ve been to both sites recently and to see our vision start to come to life is very exciting.

“I want to thank our loyal customers for their continued patience while these works are carried out, hopefully you will agree once you see the end results and use the improved facilities, that the disruption will have been well worth it.

“We’ve made this investment in the centres at Marlborough and Warminster to continue to support local people to keep physically and mentally active, by providing modern, accessible and fit-for-purpose facilities.”
