Indoor activities
We have a range of indoor activities within South Cambs, from the unusual to old favourites.
South Cambridgeshire District Council have also been supporting groups that deliver activities for participants living with long-term health conditions. Please see more information below.
Wanting a way to be active as a family, but struggling to think of some ways to do it? Why not try our family activity bingo [PDF, 96Kb] and see how many you can complete, and then tick them off when you have. For some healthy recipe inspiration please visit HealthyYou.
Pickleball
What is pickleball?
Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Played both indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. 2 or 4 players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, over a net.
Even though pickleball is like tennis, there are important differences that make pickleball especially more accessible for children and seniors.
Where can I do this?
At Cambourne Everyone Active, from 1pm to 3pm every Friday. The cost is £5.
New Age Kurling
What is New Age Kurling?
New Age Kurling is an adapted version of the original curling game which can be played indoors on any flat surface. The game can be played when standing or sitting.
