Daring Discoveries - Stockwood Discovery Centre

Head over to the free outdoor area to discover collections including geology, archaeology, social history and rural crafts. There are beautiful gardens on show, including parts once within the Stockwood House walls.

All will go swimmingly- Luton Sports Village

With a 50m eight lane pool, there is plenty of space for the whole family to enjoy a swim and splash around. Adding to that is the community pool, which boasts a 20m pool with a moveable floor.

For those a little more daring, a 10m diving board is on offer… if you’re willing to take the plunge!

And if you’d rather sit and watch the rest of the family fool around in the pool, restaurant facilities are available.
