Knit & Natter
Free group for people of all ages who like to knit, crochet and do needlework. You don't have to be experienced as there are plenty here who can give help and support. At this group you can bring your own wool to knit for yourself or your family or you can join our team of fundraisers and produce items for sale to raise money for Lee Gardens Pool. If you choose to be a fundraiser wool will be provided.
Come along for a natter to see what it's all about when our activities resume. In the meantime contact us to see how you can get involved now. New members always welcome.

Community Green Flag

Winter Wonderland
Putting on the Winter Wonderland week of events is a real community effort, which wouldn't take place if it wasn't for the countless individuals, organisations and groups that raise money to hire the equipment needed. This includes the hire of a synthetic ice-rink and a marquee to cover the pool. It's an absolutely lovely way of bringing the community together. Like our many other activities, it is heavily dependant on volunteers. Please get in touch if you would like to become a volunteer.
Training Sessions
Our training programme began in November 2019 but was sadly cut short owing to Covid-19. We did manage to run two 6-week courses in Aromatherapy and Cake Decorating and can't wait to be able to put on more.
Pool Opening Times 2024
The pool is open daily from 23rd July to 30th August. There are two sessions - 11am till 1:45 or 2:15 till 5pm. Only one session can be attended per day. Tuesday afternoon is for children with Additional Learning Needs and is closed to the general public. The pool is free to access but we do ask for support with raffle tickets.
