Lost Shore Networking Event

Rethinking the Leisure Estate: Funding, Design and Outcomes

Thursday 5th March 2026 | 10am-2pm

Location: Lost Shore Surf Resort, 11 South Platt Hill, Newbridge, Edinburgh, EH28 8AY

Leisure is changing – and so are the places that enable it. This networking event brings together Scottish local authority colleagues from the fields of property, infrastructure, leisure and health to explore how public leisure can remain relevant, financially sustainable and designed around modern community wellbeing.

Hosted at the amazing Lost Shore Surf Resort, we’ll be sharing insight into how to maximise the opportunities within the council leisure offer, take inspiration from Lost Shore’s destination-led design and customer experience and discuss the future funding landscape for leisure projects – including innovative pension funding considerations. We’ll also consider the shift from the “traditional” leisure centre to integrated Health, Wellbeing and Family Hubs, and what readiness looks like for facilities that blend health, leisure and active living.

Fancy a surf? The resort have provided a discounted price for anyone wanting to try surfing after the event in the afternoon. Please indicate on your RSVP if you are interested in this offer.
