Families across Derry and Strabane can look forward to an action-packed summer as the Council launches its exciting seasonal programme of activities – all at unbeatable value.
Returning again this year is the hugely popular £1 Summer Offer, running from 1st July to 31st August.
This initiative gives young people under 18 access to a wide range of daytime activities – all for just £1 – at Council leisure centres across the city and district.
Available from Monday to Friday until 5pm, the offer includes swimming and a variety of court and pitch-based activities such as:
Tennis
Badminton
5-a-side football
Table tennis
Basketball
Squash
Selected pitch activities (T&Cs apply)
The initiative is part of Council’s wider sports development programme, aimed at encouraging children and young people to stay active, try new sports, and enjoy healthy fun throughout the summer – without breaking the bank.
Karen McFarland, Director of Health and Community at Derry City and Strabane District Council, said: “The £1 Summer Scheme offers a fantastic variety of activities to keep children and young people engaged, active, and entertained throughout the holidays.
“It’s a great way for them to discover new interests while staying healthy and having fun.
“Importantly, the affordable £1 price point helps ease the financial pressure on families looking to keep their kids busy over the summer break.”
The scheme will be available at the following Council leisure centres:
Bishops Field
City Baths
Foyle Arena
