Owners of Barton Grange Hotel just north of Preston have submitted plans to develop a £6million leisure development at their Barton Grange Garden Centre site. The development would feature a four-ice sheet curling rink, a cinema, a ten pin bowling facility plus indoor and outdoor crazy golf courses. There would also be a kayak shop selling and renting boats for use on the neighbouring Lancaster Canal.

Barton Grange Garden Centre was situated alongside Barton Grange Hotel until recently. It is now housed on its own stand-alone site around a mile north of the hotel on the A6.

If planning permission is granted, work will likely begin in late 2015 with the hope of opening in summer 2017.
