Enjoy fun activities on the next ActiveWestminster Weekend 15 & 16 April

This year, the ActiveWestminster Weekend is set to take place at leisure centres across Westminster on the second week of the Easter School Holiday. 

From Saturday 15 – Sunday 16 April, enjoy a range of free activities across the city of Westminster. Activities are open to all residents, including children and families (some age restrictions may apply) as well as visitors. 

The ActiveWestminster Weekend event runs twice a year and is a great opportunity to visit our sport and leisure facilities, whilst trying a new activity or revisiting one you’ve not done for a while. Those who take part in the weekend will also have the chance to sign up for the ActiveWestminster Card or learn more about Everyone Active’s memberships. 

The ActiveWestminster Card is a free card for people who live or study in Westminster and grants the cardholder access to a range of discounted activities such as group exercise classes, swimming and racquet sports.
