St Sidwell's Point

‘St Sidwell’s Point’ is Exeter’s new state-of-the-art leisure centre and will be the most energy efficient in the UK.

Opening in the Summer of 2021 it includes three pools which will have exceptional water quality, with minimal chemical content.

The landmark building also includes a gym and two fitness studios; health suite and spa facility; children’s soft play area and a café.

This environmentally friendly building is designed to save up to 70% on annual energy costs and heat generated from people exercising in the gym will help heat the pool.

We hope the pool and facilities will be enjoyed by yourselves, your students and the local community.
