We're supporting Day of Play
4th-10th August 2025
How are we getting involved?
Play isn’t just about having fun; it’s a fundamental part of our lives for children and adults alike. Starting in childhood, it’s a crucial component of healthy development. It helps to build physical strength, mental resilience, creativity, confidence and essential social skills. That’s why Places Leisure is dedicating a week to play, with activities happening all over the country, encouraging communities of all ages to take part.
Many of our centres are offering free trials and discounted activities between the 4th-10th August 2025, like children’s courses (including gymnastics and trampolining), casual sports like pickleball, and classes such as group cycling.
Here are some of the ways that we encourage play...
Gymnastics and Trampolining Lessons
Gymnastics and trampolining is available at many of our centres, and these weekly sessions are a fantastic way for children of all ages to learn fundamental skills through play and games, as well as boosting their confidence.
Swimming sessions
Swimming can be fun for all ages, and we offer a range of sessions in our pools to cater for every age and ability! In particular, our Family Fun and Fun Splash swimming sessions have floats available for use, creating the perfect environment for families to play in the water.
