Video tour of the new Spen Valley Leisure Centre as it prepares to open

The new centre, on Bradford Road in Liversedge, has cost £18.6m to build and is a joint project between Kirklees Council and Kirklees Active Leisure (KAL).

It includes two substantial swimming pools, including a 25m pool with a viewing gallery, and also features a state-of-the-art fitness suite, fitness studios and a blackout cycle studio.

There will be a wide range of classes and fitness sessions available.

Dawn Stephenson, chair of the KAL board of trustees, said: “Spen Valley Leisure Centre is a fantastic new facility for local people, providing some great opportunities to improve your health and well-being."
