New Year 2021 update

Message from Jamie Groves, Managing Director, Denbighshire Leisure Ltd:
 

By now I am sure you will have seen Welsh Government’s latest announcement, that Wales will continue in full lockdown for a further three weeks with a review expected on 29th January.  This means that all of our facilities including our seven leisure centres, SC2 & Ninja TAG, Nova Prestatyn, Nova Play and The Beach Hut indoor and outdoor restaurants, 1891 Bar and Restaurant and the Ruthin Craft Centre, will remain closed for the time being.  Naturally, we can’t help being disappointed in some respects, but are prepared to do whatever it takes to keep our staff and customers safe and well.

Once again, I can only thank you, our loyal customers, for your support and your patience, throughout this difficult experience.  It means so much to everyone in the Denbighshire Leisure team to have you with us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back when things have improved.  Until that time, we will continue to focus on the good things ahead of us, which in addition to the launch of our fantastic Club Nova experience in Prestatyn, our new Group Cycle experience at X20 in St Asaph, and the reopening of the new look Corwen Leisure Centre, will also include some exciting developments for later in the year.

Despite our facilities being closed, the Denbighshire Leisure staff are all remaining upbeat and are working on a variety of tasks.  Some are helping to keep our buildings safe and in good condition, while other members of our team are volunteering to help their communities by delivering PPE and cooking for care homes and for those who are self-isolating.  We are very proud of them all.

As soon as we are able, we will be delighted to open our doors once more. 

Until then, please stay safe and well.

Jamie Groves, Managing Director, Denbighshire Leisure Ltd

21 Celebrities from across the industry will be heading to Rhyl, including XFactor star Sam Bailey, ITV The Chase’s Mark Labbett  And Anne Hegerty, Britain’s Got Talent Winners dog act Ashley and Sulley, I’m a Celeb winner and Atomic Kitten member Kerry Katona, Phil Mealey star of Early Doors and a host of stars from TV such as Benidorm, Eastenders, Hollyoaks and the Bill.

Once Upon A Pantomime is a traditional family panto brought to you by Anton Benson Productions Ltd.  Featuring a host of favourite panto characters from Buttons to Dame Trott, Snow White to Abanazar, Prince Charming to the Good Fairy and everyone in between, the show is full of colourful costumes, stunning scenery, song, dance, adventure, romance and plenty of slapstick, all wrapped up in our laugh-out-loud script!

Producer and writer Anton Benson, said: “When it became apparent that all of our regular Christmas pantomime productions were definitely cancelled this year and we were determined to not let this ruin the UK public’s favourite Christmas tradition. I opened up my phone book and started calling some of the celebrities who have worked with us in the past. Everyone said yes – some even changed their schedule to be part of the project. A few stars we haven’t worked with before read about it and opted in. I was honoured and humbled by the response. We wanted to put together a family pantomime that families could watch together – from their living room. This show has all the traditional elements of a pantomime: interactive moments to shout out at your TV, stunning sets and fabulous costumes, slapstick, panto gags, songs, dance, adventure, romance and abundance of your favourite pantomime characters.

“I would like to thank Denbighshire Leisure Ltd and Rhyl Pavilion for hosting this exciting online pantomime, we couldn’t do this without their support. This is an incredible show and every time I look at the line up and I can’t quite believe it myself! Just when we were told it can’t happen, Denbighshire Leisure has made it happen. In true panto style, we were told ‘No you couldn’t, we say, oh yes we can!”

Jamie Groves, Managing Director for Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to host one of the UK’s only theatre produced online pantos! We were not going to let Covid ruin Christmas traditions. Denbighshire Leisure Ltd are very proud to be hosting this performance and having the show played Nationally across the UK. We pride ourselves on the quality of our facilities and being chosen as the national provider of this pantomime illustrates the level that the Rhyl Pavilion team are working to and the quality of our theatre.”

Rhyl is being lit up blue to launch a marathon fundraising event in honour of the memory of Ethan Ross.

Denbighshire Leisure Ltd is turning Rhyl BLUE to mark the launch of #MoveAMarathonForEthan, an event to honour the memory of Ethan Ross from St. Asaph and to raise funds for Wales Air Ambulance and Young Minds.

Teenager Ethan tragically lost his life following a collision on the A55 near St Asaph in September, and his family and friends are encouraging the public to ‘move a marathon for Ethan’ in his memory. 

Over the weekend of 18th/20th June 2021, you can help raise funds for this worthwhile cause by completing 26.2 miles of any activity you enjoy.  You can get friends and family to join you in as many activities as you want and break your ‘marathon’ into as many sessions as you need.  Once your 26.2 miles is complete, you’ve moved your own marathon!  Ethan’s dad Paul will taking the tougher route by running a full marathon on Sunday 20th June and Paul would like to invite as many people as possible to join in and support him along the way.   

The event launches this week, and Denbighshire Leisure Ltd as official partner, will be lighting their buildings in Rhyl, including Rhyl Skytower, 1891 Bar and Rhyl Pavilion Theatre to mark the launch on Tuesday, 1st December.

Ethan was a hugely popular, and well respected young man, who worked part time as a waiter in Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel, and was also a member of the Denbigh Town FC Development Squad.  He was described by his family as “selfless, kind, caring, determined, quiet and gifted with huge competitive nature “. Ethan’s Year 13 class and friends at Denbigh high school have designed a wall in the Year 12/13 common room in his memory, featuring all his favourite things, including computer games, music, his football team and some things that signify personal memories of their happy times with Ethan.

Planning for the event is well underway, with a number of activities already lined up.  On Friday 18th June 2021 a number of schools from Llangollen – Denbigh – St. Asaph – Prestatyn will also be taking part, and holding a fundraising day in their school. A logo in Ethan’s memory has been designed by his girlfriend Mya, and a webpage has been created as a hub for the event (denbighshireleisure.co.uk/moveamarathonforEthan).

Helen Ross, Ethan’s mum, said: “We would love as many people as possible to get involved and Move a Marathon in memory of our beloved son Ethan. We would like to thank Denbighshire Leisure Ltd for offering to support the event and for being our official partner. We have chosen the Welsh Air Ambulance and Young Minds, two charities that are very important to our family.  We would like to thank everyone who has been in touch already, let’s make this event as ginormous as Ethan’s heart and make him as proud as he did us.” 

Denbighshire Leisure Ltd is proud to be the events main partner and supporter, raising funds for the company’s charity Wales Air Ambulance. Donations can be made on the event Just Giving link on the official webpage, set up in Ethan’s memory.

Jamie Groves, Managing Director of Denbighshire Leisure Ltd, said: “Denbighshire Leisure Ltd are proud to be the official partner for this charity event, in honour of the memory of a wonderful young man. As a company we will be coordinating a number of fundraising activities leading up to the main event and coordinating the social and marketing campaigns to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and support two very worthwhile charities, Young Minds and Welsh Air Ambulance, both of which are close to Ethan’s family’s hearts.  We would also like to wish Paul all the best in his efforts on the day, and look forward to following his journey and training for this.”
