Big News for Buxton! Brand new Buxton Sports Centre
Exciting things are on the horizon for Buxton, as the future of Harpur Hill Leisure Centre aka Buxton Sports Centre has officially been secured – permanently. The site has been acquired by Solanki Holdings UK & International, the same developer behind the purchase of Peak Buildings (formerly home to Buxton Museum & Art Gallery) and, more recently, The Cavendish Shopping Arcade, signalling continued investment in key sites across the town.
This prime two-acre site at the heart of the community is set for a complete transformation, ensuring it remains a long-term destination for sport, fitness and wellbeing for generations to come.
But this isn’t just a reopening…
This is something much bigger.
