Hadleigh Pool and Leisure
IMPORTANT Customer Notice
Pool Closure
Due to the current refurbishment programme at Hadleigh Pool and Leisure, we will be closing the pool for 14 weeks to allow the new pool to be connected to the plant room and a link corridor between the buildings to be constructed. It is not possible to have the current pool open during these works. We do understand that any closure can be a challenge for customers, so we have put a number of measures in place to keep disruption to a minimum.
The final day to swim will be Friday 20 March 2020 and we aim to open on Monday 6 July 2020.
The nearest alternative pool will be Kingfisher Leisure Centre – see the swimming timetable here

Customers with a swimming membership will be able to use the pool at Kingfisher Leisure Centre, Bury, Newmarket or Haverhill Leisure Centres, subject to normal public swimming times, and can also upgrade their membership free of charge to a full centre membership, providing access to gym and fitness classes for three months.
