A £750,000 refurbishment at a spa in Colchester is almost complete.

The Bannatyne Group, which runs Kingsford Park spa in Layer Road, said the refurbishment includes an upgraded treatment room catering for group bookings of up to six, mud therapy treatments and VIP Elemis treatment rooms.

The health club also offers a sauna and swimming pool.

Karen Wilkinson, group head of spa for the Bannatyne Group, said: “This major investment in Colchester is part of our roll out of seven new spas in 2017.

“The new spa is essential to support our aim to deliver a holistic health and wellbeing service to our customers and will enhance the health club facilities.

“The Bannatyne name is synonymous with quality and our partnership with Elemis, as well as other leading wellbeing brands, demonstrates our commitment to provide the highest quality service in everything we do.

“It allows us to take the spa service to a new level, which everyone can enjoy, both members and guests.”
