The Therme Manchester and Peel L&P resort will replace EventCity, which will be located to the old site of the Soccerdome.

Proposals began in July 2019 which was followed by a unanimous support from local residents. This month, full permission was granted by Trafford Council.

"This is a £250 million investment in Trafford, it will improve physical and mental wellbeing for the whole community, a representative of Therme said at a committee meeting on Thursday.

James Whittaker, Peel L&P Group Development Director, added: "The creation of Therme Manchester will bring an accessible, yet world-class health and wellbeing attraction to the people of Greater Manchester and beyond.

"It will transform TraffordCity, bring fantastic employment opportunities as well as bolster the regional economy including tourism and be a key contributor to the Northern Powerhouse."

Therme's water park is expected to attract up to two million visitor a year over five years which would make it the most-visited water-based attraction in Europe.
