The heart of our community

North Warwickshire’s new leisure facility

Where wellbeing begins

A new chapter for Atherstone and the surrounding area is on the way. North Warwickshire Borough Council's new leisure facility will soon become the heart of our community, a place where healthy living takes shape and wellbeing begins for everyone.

Serving North Warwickshire and surrounding villages, the new centre will offer our community modern spaces to connect, get active, and thrive.
