Extensive six-court sports hall which is suitable for a variety of sports including badminton, indoor football, pickleball, netball, basketball, table tennis, gymnastics & martial arts.
Our new sanarium offers the best of both worlds from a sauna and steam room. It is designed to be a bit cooler than a sauna and less humid than a steam room, and for some, a more comfortable environment to sit in.
Sanariums are becoming increasingly popular for their deep relaxation, detoxification, and general wellbeing benefits. The gentle warmth can help muscles relax and boost circulation.
We would like to thank all of our Banbridge members and customers for their patience and understanding as the work has progressed and we hope you enjoy all the benefits our newest acquisition brings.
Things are a little bit different, as we have introduced a range of safety measures and extensive cleaning protocols so you can get back to doing the things that you love.
Attendance rules on booking online – Showers are unavailable in BLC after swimming due to ratios of showers to numbers per session. This is under review.

Banbridge Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Good fopd and prices
Fantastic experience: Staff very welcoming and the cafe is first class...gym very good..pool very good..and the sauna brilliant..
Positive experience: Staff are friendly and welcoming. The facility is also well looked after, and you can see that the staff are always busy cleaning which is appreciated but not the case in some of the other council leisure facilities. Would be 5 star except the age of the facility, the shallowness of the pool and small things like the lack of flags for doing backstroke. Definitely can't fault the staff or the cleanliness.
Positive experience: The gym is a little small but has all you need, the pool and sauna are included.
Fantastic experience: A very well run leisure centre. The pool staff are fantastic and the Cafe with kind friendly staff, is really worth a visit. Thanks for having us today.
Positive experience: (Review on the swimming pool area) Not the best swimming pool and not the worst neither. It has a nice flume slide and water splinkers for the kids along with a small but decent pool for toddlers. It can be quite cold in the changing area and some lockers have broken keys along with some of the showers not working great. Overall it's decent but it could really do with some updates and better maintenance. The price is still pretty good compared to other pools and staff are always pleasant and helpful.

Fantastic experience: My kids Enjoy the pool here
Negative experience: Girl on reception disappointing. After arriving too early for a swim with my two children I asked if the cafe was open so we could wait and I was told 'maybe' !!! So we went to check if it was and yes food was being cooked and put into the food warmer. I asked the girl behind the counter if is open and i was told. There is a party and she will do that first and then serve the public after she has finished with that. The cafe was empty. It was 12:45.
Fantastic experience: Great pool, friendly staff and fantastic cafe

Positive experience: Small leisure centre with 25meter swimming pool and fun slide. Also has weight training gym, cafe and sports hall.
Fantastic experience: Great lunch
Positive experience: Good facilties
Positive experience: Great facility. Reception has been very helpful, a pleasure to deal with! Gym is well laid out, can be a bit busy at times which is both a good and bad thing! Halls are large for groups to do activities; archery, football, netball etc. Swimming pool is rather straight forward with smaller pools for children and a jacuzzi area. Only downfall I would say is the steam and sauna rooms as they are too small, most of the time it's VERY cramped! Other than that, great overall experience.
