Festive programmes across Cornwall

Operating under the Better brand, GLL is the not for profit social enterprise that runs nine leisure centres in Cornwall on behalf of the council. Each centre will be offering a full programme of activities over Christmas.

“Family fun swimming, aqua splash, fitness classes and gym workouts all feature on our schedules, as well as special events to celebrate the time of year,” said Ben Wilkinson, GLL Partnership Manager in Cornwall.

“Getting out of the house over Christmas to do some exercise in a welcoming, social, and very merry setting is a fun, healthy option – which is what our centres provide.”
