All other areas of the Turkish Baths remain open, we apologise for any inconvenience this causes & we will keep our customers updated when we have any further information to share.
Turkish baths closure
The Turkish baths will be closed from Monday 29th July - Sunday 4th August for maintenance works. Upon reopening the Plunge Pool within the Turkish baths will be back open. Apologies for any inconvenience.
