Nailsworth Recreation Centre
The Nailsworth Recreation Centre is run by Nailsworth Primary School for the benefit of the Nailsworth community.
Outside school hours, the school becomes The Nailsworth Recreation Centre: the only purpose-built, public recreation facility in town. The centre is available for clubs, businesses and organisations to provide a wide range of sport, leisure and dance activities and events, using our fantastic facilities.
Members of the public can benefit through attending classes, being a member of a club or organisation, or through attending an event.
