LifeStyle Leisure Access
If you prefer to pay for your leisure activities as you go then you may wish to take out one of our LifeStyle Leisure Access cards. The card initially costs £4.00 to buy and then £2.00 to renew after every twelve-month period. Once you’ve got your card and start to use our leisure activities you will start to accumulate points that you can save towards a free activity.
The LifeStyle Leisure Access Card is also a booking card. You can book your place on your chosen activity or class up to seven days in advance and then simply pay when you turn up.
As well as activities at The Sands you can also pay as you play at Carlisle Pools, Morton School Pool, Bitts Park, The Swifts driving range and golf course, our award winning Stoney Holme golf course and all our centres in Allerdale.
You can get a LifeStyle Leisure Access Card if you are a Carlisle resident (i.e. that you pay your council tax to Carlisle City Council) and applying for your card is simple.
