The centre opened in 2012 – in 2020 then owner Helen Diffey hit out at the decision by the Government for them to continue to be closed during Covid. In May 2022 they suffered a break-in when their chairty box was stolen.

Ownership of the business changed hands in July this year although many of the staff were retained.
