Manager Neil Spencer said: “We are over the moon with the positive reaction to the new facilities. The studio means many more classes are available and the reception is speeding up check-in.

“But the star of the show is the soft play centre, which has seen a steady stream of children and is clearly being thoroughly enjoyed.”

The £768,000 project took five months to complete and was led by the Freedom Leisure trust on behalf of Derbyshire Dales District Council.

Council leader Garry Purdy said: “Following recent upgrades to reduce carbon emissions and minimise waste, we’re delighted the fabulous new facilities have been completed on schedule.”

Soft play sessions cost from £4.50, and the whole area is available for private bookings. For more information, see freedom-leisure.co.uk/arc.
