Transforming leisure and tourism destinations with bespoke signage

From welcoming entrance signs to illuminated pathways, our recent projects showcase how effective bespoke leisure signage transforms visitor experiences across the UK.

We always aim to exceed client expectations by delivering top-quality signage solutions tailored for the leisure and tourism sector. Partly it’s our 50 years of expertise in the signage industry, and partly it’s our instinctive creative eye, but whatever the brief Ken White Signs aims to make your leisure organisation stand out – consistently.

Whether it’s a council leisure centre refresh or heritage site interpretation, here’s how we’re helping destinations make lasting impressions.

From dated to dynamic: Lords Meadow Leisure Centre’s reception transformation

Mid Devon District Council’s leisure centres are enjoying a fresh new look, as part of a series of investments in the council’s leisure facilities.

We recently updated MDDC’s leisure centre reception signage, replacing outdated, darker graphics with a brighter, more minimal, and modern design that creates a warm, welcoming entrance for visitors at Lords Meadow Leisure Centre in Crediton.

This transformation demonstrates how thoughtful signage updates can completely change the atmosphere of a space, creating an environment that feels modern, inviting, and aligned with today’s expectations for public leisure facilities.

Illuminating pathways: Castlerigg Hall Holiday Park’s LED bollard installation

Great to see our LED bollard posts guiding visitors at the beautiful Castlerigg Hall Holiday Park in the Lake District.

David Jackson shared this 5-star review: “We were delighted with the bollard lights Ken White Signs supplied for our holiday park in the Lake District. Prompt service and an excellent product.”

Our illuminated signs and lighting options enhance branding and architectural features while creating just the right ambience. From welcoming entrances to illuminated thoroughfares, they’re not only visually appealing but also provide safe and well-lit environments for staff, visitors, and patrons – particularly important as we move into shorter days and darker nights.

Elegant bespoke entrance signage creates a warm welcome in Cornwall

This sleek twin-posted Isitwood entrance sign in light wood effect creates a warm welcome for visitors arriving at their luxury Cornish holiday accommodation.

Crafted from our popular Isitwood range, its simple elegance is part of its charm. It’s also a smart investment – offering versatility, longevity, and low maintenance, making it a perfect choice for holiday and leisure destinations.

Hassle-free outdoor signage at its best!

The Isitwood range represents our commitment to environmentally friendly solutions while maintaining the aesthetic appeal that tourism destinations require.

Heritage craftsmanship: Honouring Foxton Locks with sympathetic signage

Our work at Foxton Locks allowed our team to draw upon traditional craftsmanship skills to create beautiful, rustic interpretation and wayfinding signage that’s sympathetic to this historic site.

Using materials like oak and cast bronze, the resulting signage connects visitors with the canal’s rich history and reflects its unique charm and the heritage value of Foxton Locks.

This bespoke leisure signage project exemplifies how we blend traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques to create signage that respects and enhances historic settings.
