A CHOICE OF FIVE LOCAL CENTRES

When you join One Leisure, you don’t get to use just one site, you can use any other five centres in Huntingdon, Ramsey, Sawtry, St Ives and St Neots as all towns are located close to each other and offer something different.

This is why, with 1.7 million visitors per year they are one of the busiest leisure attractions in the district.
