This indoor waterpark, featuring pools, slides, flumes, and interactive water machines, became a cherished destination, especially on rainy days. Its grand opening in 1991 was made all the more special by Princess Diana’s presence, an event fondly remembered by locals who affectionately referred to it as ‘The Splash.’ Despite its popularity, Sedgemoor Splash shuttered its doors in 2009.
