Lilleshall, along with Bisham Abbey are the first national centres in the country to achieve an ‘outstanding’ rating, placing them in the top 1% of best-managed leisure facilities in the UK. Quest is the best-known improvement program within the leisure industry, it’s rigorous assessments challenge even the very best centres. Having previously been rated ‘excellent’ by Quest in 2015, both Lilleshall and Bisham were able to qualify for a ‘Stretch’ assessment. To achieve this top award, the centres went through a rigorous two-days, which involved a review of general practices on site, such as Health & Safety; interviews with employees, customers, partners and National Governing Bodies of sports (NGBs); plus a mystery visit.

As well as a range of world-class facilities available for use, including squash courts and a fitness gym, the Centre has two walking routes; the 2.5 mile Discovery Trail and the 6 mile Adventure Fitness Trail. Work is also underway on a nature trail which is due to be open in the Summer.
