Celebrating 10 Years of The Castle Leisure Centre! 🎉
Today marks a special milestone as we celebrate 10 incredible years of The Castle Leisure Centre in Elephant and Castle!
Since opening in April 2016, The Castle has welcomed nearly half a million visitors, becoming a vibrant hub for health, fitness, and community. From swimming and fitness classes to sports, arts, and community events, it’s a place where people come together every day to move, connect, and thrive.
A message from the Centre Manager:
“For the past 10 years, we’ve been proud to support our community, welcoming people of all backgrounds — from children learning to swim, to seniors enjoying connection, and everyone working towards personal goals or recovery. Improving lives through movement is at the heart of everything we do, and it’s a privilege to be part of people’s journeys.”
Join us throughout April as we celebrate this amazing achievement, and don’t miss our finale event, The Castle Festival, taking place on Saturday, 2nd May!
