Watersports in Sussex – Welcome to the Ardingly Activity Centre!
Newly Refurbished Café at Reservoir
We’re delighted to announce that work has already started to upgrade and refurbish the café by the Reservoir and it will re-open at the end of March. The newly refurbished café will serve barista coffee, plus a range of other hot drinks and cakes, as well as sandwiches, toasties and hot paninis. In many ways, the Reservoir café’s offering will mirror the menu of Ardingly College’s popular Café 150 on our campus.
Operations will continue as normal, and the centre will remain open to the public. Please note that we will maintain the usual schedule of being closed on Mondays and Fridays.
We look forward to continuing the great work of the centre and welcoming you all to enjoy its facilities and activities when the season restarts in 2025.
