PGL to invest £4m in new Sussex centre
Activity holiday company, PGL, is redeveloping a former tennis centre near Hertsmonceux, East Sussex, into a new activity centre.
The 21-acre (8.5-hectare) Windmill Hill site will undergo a £4m revamp and when complete, will offer courses for school and youth groups, as well as small summer camps and family groups during the summer. Facilities at the new centre will include a 2,000sq m (21,527sq ft) sports hall, a swimming pool, climbing towers and zip wires, while some of the centre's existing tennis courts will be turned into a multi-sports area. Existing lakes will also be used for canoeing and raft building.
A new dining room, classrooms, and accommodation capable of catering for 450 guests are also set to be created as part of the project, and solar panels are to be installed to provide hot water in a bid to make the centre as sustainable as possible. The new centre is scheduled to open in May.
