The council has a large number of events going on at or based from Abbey Leisure Centre over the summer. You can search for these at:

The report on leisure centres is out tomorrow, when we should find out what the next step is for the council regarding the fuure of Abbey. But for now, there is a lot to do.

Council press release:

Schools Out for Summer

With the school holiday rapidly approaching, Durham County Council is offering young people across the county a whole host of fun and exciting sports and activities to keep them entertained and active during the summer.

The Schools Out! programme will be available for booking from July 4 and includes fun-filled sessions for under 18s ranging from athletics to zumba.

Special offers include a week of swimming lessons for just £15 for children aged four and above.

Schools Out! activities will be listed in the council publication, ‘Your essential guide to summer fun in County Durham,’ which will be distributed to all homes in County Durham between July 4 and 18.

The magazine will, for the first time, bring library, sport, leisure and cultural information together into one publication, as School’s Out! has been produced separately in previous years.

The activity programme is being co-ordinated by Durham County Council and will be delivered by a network of local sports clubs, coaches and volunteers.
