Leisure Activities

Here are the range of bi-weekly leisure clubs and weekly activities accessible by children, young people and their families living in North Gwent and registered with Sparkle.

PLEASE NOTE: From the 1st April, a mandatory annual fee will be introduced for all families accessing Sparkle leisure services to support and protect the services we provide.

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, due to spiralling costs for all our services, it has become necessary to introduce an annual fee for joining Sparkle activities. This will be £48.00 a year, which will go some way towards offsetting the increasing costs of providing a high-quality specialised leisure service for our children and young people. We are sorry that it has become necessary to introduce this extra cost, but in the absense of any Welsh Government funding, and with increasing salary and training costs, such as the rise of minimum wage and increased National Insurance costs, it is unavoidable.

Further details are provided in our FAQs found here.
