Xscape Braehead opens on time
The new £70m Xscape Braehead leisure complex near Glasgow opened as planned on 6 April, despite the collapse of a cinema ceiling last month during the final stages of construction.
Work at the X-Leisure-managed site was temporarily put on hold after the incident – described as “significant” by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) – on 7 March.
However, X-Leisure’s chief executive, PY Gerbeau, insisted at the time that the collapse would not prevent construction on the rest of the site and would have no effect on the opening date.
The 380,000sq ft (35,300sq m) Xscape Braehead is part of the Renfrew Riverside Partnership regeneration programme and includes a 200m ski slope and a 50m beginners’ slope – boasting 16 snow guns generating 1,500 tonnes of real snow.
Xscape will also host a multiplex Odeon cinema, 24 lanes of bowling, extreme sports including climbing walls and an aerial assault course and a number of restaurants and bars such as Café Rouge and Pizza Express. It is anticipated that Xscape Braehead will attract around four million visitors in its first year of operation.
It is the third Xscape site in the UK for X-Leisure, alongside Milton Keynes and Castleford. Details: www.xscape.co.uk
