£1m investment for Lilleshall National Sports & Conferencing Centre

Lilleshall National Sports & Conferencing CentreLilleshall National Sports and Conferencing Centre is to receive a £1 million cash injection from Sport England and Serco, who jointly manage the venue.

The investment will be used to improve facilities including an extended and refurbished Queens Bar and new reception. The development will provide a central hub to the site, with a larger entrance and relocated reception. A refurbishment of the café bar will extend the food provision capacity and range.
 
Work is expected to be completed by the beginning of August and management is providing alternative facilities during the period of reconstruction to minimise disruption.

This is yet another step that will enable us to deliver our aspirations to provide world leading facilities and services, reflective of good industry practice, for the community, clubs and elite users.”
