Lagan Valley LeisurePlex Turns 25!

Party fun will be in full flow next week as Lagan Valley LeisurePlex celebrates its 25th anniversary. The special milestone will see a 3-day extravaganza from Thursday 10th to Saturday 12th October.

Customers are invited to come along to the themed celebration, ‘Party like it’s 1999’, which will include a schedule of retro events and mega prize giveaways. There will also be DJ entertainment and a host of special guests for the ultimate party atmosphere.

The birthday celebrations will kick off on Thursday 10 October with an energy packed Leisure Pool Party between 6pm and 8.45pm. Customers can make a splash down the longest and fastest water slides while partying the session away with our resident DJ. There will also be prize giveaways, face painting and a special appearance from Moana, Stitch and Jack Sparrow.

Two exciting events will come to the main hall on Friday 11 October. Children can bounce into the family fun session from 6.30pm with energy packed inflatables, face painting and party balloon modelling. Party goers can also choose to get their skates on at a retro roller disco from 7.00-8.00pm.  90’s stars Barbie and Ken will make an appearance and might even join in the fun!

The final day culminates with a big Super Saturday event on 12th October. The fun packed day starts with a baby disco in the Lazy River where little ones can join a parent or guardian for baby themed songs and lots of splashes.  What’s more every baby taking part will receive their own rubber duck to take home.

The fun in the Leisure Pool continues from 11am where customers will have the chance to win a goody bag if they find a special hidden golden coin in the water! The Cool FM Roadshow will be whipping up party tracks live in the centre from 12.00 noon – 5.00pm for an amazing party experience   Popular 90’s Toy Story characters will be there from 11.00 – 4.00pm along with a fabulous selfie mirror, face painting, party balloons and much more!
