A new visitor centre and state-of-the-art leisure and spa facility will open later this month at Templemore Baths, following a £17 million project to restore and expand the historic Victorian building.
The interior has been repurposed as an interactive visitor centre focusing on the heritage of the much-loved local landmark, to tell the story of its former function as public baths and swimming pool. Many of its original features have been sympathetically restored, including the major pool which will be fully operational again, and the old slipper baths.
The former courtyard area has been transformed into a café within an attractive new atrium, featuring the original Victorian fountain, which has been restored as its centrepiece.
