Bletchley Leisure Centre in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, will host a Big Open Weekend on March 7, 2026, and March 8, 2026, to allow residents to trial its facilities at no cost. This event gives families and potential members the chance to use the gym and swimming pool before deciding whether to sign up for a membership.
Visitors can access the eight-lane 25-metre competition swimming pool and the gym, along with taster sessions for different exercise classes and an indoor cycling studio. The facility also features seven indoor bowls rinks and runs health programmes such as the award-winning Healthy Life exercise referral scheme and a new weight loss support programme.
This initiative follows a recent announcement from Milton Keynes City Council regarding a £3 million investment into local leisure hubs. These funds are intended to upgrade equipment and improve services under the management of Serco Leisure and the More Leisure Community Trust, who took over the centre in late 2024.
People planning to visit the centre during the open weekend should note that Princes Way is currently closed for 24 hours a day until May 6, 2026. According to the Bletchley and Fenny Stratford Town Council, this road closure may make it more difficult for residents to reach the leisure centre by car during the event.
