Hailsham Leisure Centre manager Richard Whitling said: 'More than 100 youngsters have already booked induction sessions at the junior gym, the soft play is proving a real hit with our youngest visitors and the 10-pin bowling, with its stunning UV lighting is literally knocking everyone over when they see it.'

Council leader Nigel Coltman added: 'These wonderful new facilities are a testament to the commitment that Freedom Leisure has shown to the local community in continually looking to develop services that meet and exceed the needs and wants of local people.

'The council has supported this venture throughout from the initial vision right through to the launch today and I believe it will bring many people into Hailsham which can only benefit the whole town.'
