Features

Skating: We have public skating sessions at weekends and in the holidays, for families and friends, or to practice your skills. You can also book skating parties, skating lessons and adult skate discos. And we are still hiring the hall for private skate bookings as they have been so popular. Skating is a great way to keep fit and have fun! We have skates to fit from junior size 8 to adult size 14, with over shoe skates for younger children. We have beginner mats out to help people get going on a slower surface, and/or disco lights and music for a party feel.
Sports: We have several sports as either a class such as Walking netball & Pickleball or a private hire session. You can also hire the Badminton & Pickleball court or the table tennis tables and the hall can be hired for other sports such as 5 aside football. We have bats, balls, Paddles, rackets and shuttlecocks which are all included in the price.
Classes: We have a wide range of classes, from Circuit Training to Tai Chi, Boogie Bounce (mini trampolines) to teen Hiit Circuits and DDMix (dance). Some are aimed at fitness, strength, flexibility, skills or wellbeing. We also run less physical classes, such as Occasional Art Classes, Walking Netball, and PenActive which is ‘our youth club for older people’.
Gym: We have two gym rooms. The Main gym houses the free weights and resistance machines, along with a couple of cardio machines for warming up. The majority of the cardio machines are found in the Cardio room, including treadmills, a stepper, bikes and a crosstrainer. We welcome people of all abilities to join us in working towards their fitness goals.
