We recommend having a list of alternative options ready in case you do not get into your first choice.

Additionally, consider other nearby Leisure Centres if your preferred location isn't available.

• From 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 15 images will also be removed from the registered programs page to improve the load time of the page when a high volume of users are on the site at the same time.
