Covid news update
Following the Welsh Government’s announcement today, Denbighshire Leisure Ltd wants to reassure customers that each of our facilities will fully comply with the latest guidelines to be implemented from 26th December.
From the outset of the pandemic, safety of customers and staff has been our highest priority and this will continue to be the case; in addition to our focus on providing customers with same excellent experiences they have become accustomed to. Once new guidelines are implemented, we will monitor customer feedback, and should we need to introduce any extra safety measures at times of peak periods, we will let you know. We will also keep everyone updated around any changes in advice and guidance from Welsh Government as and when this becomes available.
The following safety measures will be introduced at our facilities from Sunday 26th December:
- Leisure Centres (including attractions) will return to social distancing principles, and we request all customers to respect this. Customers will be encouraged to make use of the sanitising stations throughout the centres, and our staff will continue with enhanced cleaning regimes. Customers will also need to wear facemasks whilst in the centres, apart from when exercising. At the current time, we will not be introducing a booking system for fitness suites. This will remain under review.
- Our restaurants and cafes will be reintroducing table service, social distancing principles and reintroducing the recording of customer contact information. We will also be following the guidance from Welsh Government on the ‘rule of 6’ per booking and requiring customers to wear masks when they are moving around the restaurant. Our food and beverage facilities will of course continue with their enhanced cleaning regimes.
- After careful consideration, and in line with other theatres in the region, Rhyl Pavilion’s pantomime performances from Boxing Day until New Year’s Eve will be cancelled. The logistics of applying the ‘rule of 6’ and also adhering to social distancing within the auditorium is sadly not feasible. The Box Office will contact all ticket holders to arrange a refund or exchange. Pantomime customers will be prioritised and we ask you to bear with us until you are called by one of our team.
The panto programme is running as advertised until Christmas Eve, and tickets are still available
Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Denbighshire Leisure Ltd and its entire workforce, has remained resilient, positive and absolutely determined to continue providing the best possible customer experiences. Since reopening, we have been delighted with the positive feedback received from customers and by the confidence they have shown in us. We are looking forward to 2022 and will rise to any challenges it brings.
We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a safe New Year. #WeAreDenbighshireLeisure

We will forever be in debt to those who have put their lives at risk on behalf of us all and to the incredible British Legion and Poppy Appeal volunteers who have been raising vital funds for the Armed Forces community over the last century. In lighting up Denbighshire Leisure’s attractions during remembrance week, we would like everyone in Denbighshire to unite across faiths, cultures and backgrounds to remember the sacrifice of the Armed Forces community for the past century, to get us to where we are today.”
Claire Lewis, Royal British Legion Community Fundraiser, North Wales, said: “We would like to say a huge thank you to Jamie Groves and his team at Denbighshire Leisure Ltd for supporting the North Wales Poppy Appeal in such a creative and innovative way and helping us to raise vital funds for the Armed Forces community in our Centenary Year. Many thanks also to our dedicated Poppy Appeal Organiser in Rhyl, Richard Kendrick for working proactively in close partnership and helping to make this happen.”
The poppy, two-minute silence, Armistice Day, the service for the Unknown Warrior, and the march-past at the Cenotaph are traditions that millions participate in every year and this year’s remembrance week will be spent reflecting on the fantastic charitable work carried out by the Royal British Legion and Poppy Appeal during the last 100 years.
Ruthin Craft Centre, Rhyl Sky Tower, Rhyl Pavilion Theatre, 1891 Restaurant and Bar, the Events Arena waterfall, Denbighshire Leisure HQ and Denbighshire coastal bus shelters will all be illuminated in red from 28th October to 11th November to symbolise the colour of the red poppy, a well-known and well-established symbol that carries a wealth of history and meaning.
The company will also be commemorating the anniversary with their social media proudly wearing the British Royal Legion Poppy with pride across all of their profiles. This is as well as DLL employees being encouraged to wear red on 11th November and donate to the cause.
