In a surprising move, Jubilee Pool in Penzance, has announced its closure for the winter season until May 2024. But what’s the reason behind this decision?

Financial Struggles and Sustainability

Jubilee Pool is facing significant challenges, including soaring energy costs and the impact of the cost of living crisis, which have made it financially impossible to stay open year-round.

A Path to Long-Term Sustainability

The return to a seasonal operating model is seen as a strategic move to secure the future of Jubilee Pool. The goal? To ensure visitors can enjoy its facilities, events, and activities for years to come.

Winter Revamp and Maintenance

During the winter closure, essential maintenance work will be undertaken. This includes sea wall repairs, car park improvements, and the completion of a high-tech valve automation system for the pools.

Geothermal Upgrades for Sustainability

Jubilee Pool is not just focusing on short-term fixes. They’re also planning remedial works to improve the sustainability and efficiency of their geothermal facilities.

A Message from the CEO

She hints at exciting events and activities planned for the summer season. Nicola said “We are having to reshape our business model in response to the challenging financial circumstances we must operate within. We are committed to providing a sustainable community facility, and these actions are our best way of doing that.
