Following the Government’s announcement of new national restrictions due to COVID-19, Derby Arena, Queen’s Leisure Centre and Springwood Leisure Centre will close their doors to the public on Wed 4 Nov, at their normal closure time.

During the spring lockdown, many of our members felt real benefits from following our Derby Active at Home programme of online classes and activities. We are pleased to announce that Derby Active at Home will be returning via our Facebook page and YouTube channel for the next four weeks.
