Families looking for fun this April half term will have plenty to look forward to at Barking Sporthouse and Gym, even as work continues behind the scenes on the much-anticipated new Multi Zone Activity Area.

While the brand-new attraction will not quite be ready for its official launch, visitors can still enjoy a packed programme of activities throughout the holiday period. Popular favourites including the thrilling Clip ‘n Climb arena, the ever-popular skate park and the centre’s brand spanking new soft play area will all be open and ready for action, giving children and young people plenty of opportunities to burn off energy and try something new.

For families wanting to stay active together, there will also be a range of other options available. Junior Gym sessions will give younger fitness enthusiasts the chance to get moving in a safe and supervised environment, while Adult & Child Gym sessions provide the perfect opportunity for parents and children to work out side by side. Racquet sport fans will also be able to book badminton and pickleball courts throughout the week.

Adding to the half term excitement, visitors may even spot a few special guests making surprise appearances around the centre. The Easter Bunny is expected to hop in from time to time, while local favourite Dexter the Dino will also be dropping by to say hello and pose for photos with families during the holiday.

And of course, no visit would be complete without a stop at the café. Open daily from 9am to 7pm, it offers a great selection of hot food, toasties, snacks and drinks. For those looking to cool down after an active session, there will also be plenty of delicious slushies and ice creams available.

Activity Timetable:

With activities for all ages, Barking Sporthouse and Gym is set to be a fantastic destination for families looking to stay active, have fun and make the most of the April half term.

We can't wait to welcome you!
