The Pickaquoy Centre

The Pickaquoy Centre is a leisure facility in Kirkwall housing two swimming pools, multiple sports courts, a fitness centre, and a modern cinema. These varied amenities are arranged under one roof to serve different recreational needs.

The facility opened in 1999 as a major addition to community infrastructure on the Orkney Islands. Its creation represented a shift in expanding recreational opportunities for island residents.

The centre runs a cinema that shows films and live broadcasts throughout the year for local audiences. This venue serves as a cultural gathering place for the island community.

The centre is easy to access and offers multiple activities in one location for both fitness and leisure. Detailed information about schedules and available activities can be obtained at the reception.

The centre operates an attached campsite with modern facilities that connects indoor activities with outdoor accommodation in the Orkney environment. This combination creates a complete destination for visitors planning longer stays.
