Our flagship facility is Newmarket Leisure Centre, which opened in January 2009 following a major re-investment to provide a new swimming pool and improved facilities for the town. Brandon Leisure Centre was redeveloped in the autumn of 2011 and repoened in December 2011 with a new 45 station fitness studio, Multi use studio for group excercise, functions and meetings. The centre reception was also made open plan and more welcoming.

We work with a number of partners, delivering a range of leisure activities within local community venues and open spaces across the Forest Heath area.
