A huge new water park, spa and wellness centre is set to open less than an hour's drive from Liverpool.
Boasting an impressive 25 pools, 35 water slides and 30 saunas, Therme Waterpark is set to be built on a site next to the Trafford Centre in Manchester. The £250m development will be the UK's first city-based wellbeing resort and will be double the size of Therme's wellness centre in Bucharest.
Work is due to start soon to make way for the new development, which is set to open in 2025. However, with this in mind, Dianne Bourne from the Manchester Evening News took a trip to the Romanian capital of Bucharest to get a taste of what the North West can expect when Therme comes to Manchester.
