What is Leisureplus?

Leisureplus is a leisure discount card that everyone can use in Newcastle.

The card gives big savings at a wide range of leisure and sports facilities in Newcastle.

There are no off-peak hour restrictions so when you use the card is up to you.

All cards are valid for one year.

What do I get?

If you have a Leisureplus card you will pay a lot less for almost all of the activities at Newcastle Leisure facilities.

Swimming, aerobics, weight training, hi-tech fitness and saunas are just some of the activities you can enjoy at cut prices, and that’s not all.

There are Advance Booking privileges. Leisureplus members can book seven days in advance; non-members can only book 3 days in advance.

Free Equipment hire deposit.

Discounts on sports coaching courses including football, tennis and swimming.

How do I become a Leisureplus member?

Joining is easy. You can apply for a Leisureplus card at any Swimming Pool or Sports Centre or submit your application at any Library or Customer Service Centre.

If you are applying at a Leisure Centre or Swimming Pool you do not need to supply a passport photograph (as we can now take your photograph for you at these facilities please ensure all applicants are present when applying).  You will be issued with your card when you apply.

If you are submitting your application at a Library or Customer Service Centre you need to bring a passport photo of everyone over 5 years old that you are applying for. Your application form will be forwarded to the Leisureplus Office and your card will be sent to you in the post.

You also need proof of address, your payment (cash or cheque) and proof of the benefit that you receive if you are applying for a Priority Card.
