THE UK's new £250MILLION water park with 25 pools and indoor beach has been forced to delay its opening date. State of the art plans for Therme Manchester were first revealed in 2020, and the site was cleared in March 2023 - with hopes to open by 2025. 8 The opening date of the £250million Therme Manchester has been delayed Credit: Therme Manchester 8 It is set to have the UK's first all-season beach Credit: Therme Manchester 8 There will be an adult-only section that offers a touch of luxury - with swim up bars, water lagoons, steam rooms and saunas Credit: Therme Manchester The 28-acre resort is set to offer Brits the choice of 25 swimming pools, including a wave pool, as well as 35 water slides.

It will also boast an indoor beach, the first all-season beach in the country, as well as an entire wellness area called the "Garden of Wellness". This includes an adult-only section that offers a touch of luxury - with swim up bars, water lagoons, steam rooms and saunas. Another artist's impression shows the exterior of the attraction, which will be a series of glass-covered areas simulating a wave.

Leader of Trafford Council Tom Ross previously he was delighted by Therme Manchester as it was the "first of its kind in the country". He added not only will it attract millions of visitors a year, but will create 600 jobs. But, an official opening date and ticket prices are yet to be announced.

However, it was revealed that progress has been halted, as reported by the Manchester Eve.
