Henfield Leisure Centre: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Booked a Main Hall Activity Party for my son’s 7th birthday and it was brilliant. Amazing set up, with a huge bouncy castle, trampoline, scooters, football, arts & crafts table, Lego and loads of other toys! The kids (ranging from age 2 to 10) all absolutely loved it. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you so much! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: We've been for a birthday party and had a wonderful time, our children didn't want to leave, such a great place to make them happy.

Kirsten Chambers 1 year ago

Negative experience: Soft play was okay, but got very busy, and there was a birthday party in the same room as everyone else. Staff were friendly, and food was okay (nothing special, I had soup and toast). Coffee was okay. When our session ended so did the kids party and guests were handed party bags, my tired 3 year old didn’t understand that she wasn’t at the party (but in the same area it was confusing!) so had a complete meltdown and wouldn’t leave the room crying because she wanted a party bag. Nightmare! Wouldn’t recommend for this reason. If I had to go again I’d check ahead there were no birthday parties on the same day - be warned!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great gym equipment and plenty of it so very rare that I can't work what I'd like to. Handy location just wish the Saturday opening hours were a little earlier like some other local gyms so I can train before work. Everything else - more than happy!

Fantastic experience: Tucked in the heart of Henfield suburbia. Lots of parking, open playing fields and the Leisure Centre with a nice cafe and child play area. Sharky's cafe and play centre is great for venue hire too. Party venue provides food for the occasion too.

Fantastic experience: Sharkys is a great place for the kids to burn off energy whilst giving the parents some time to have a cup of tea and reflect upon their lives prior to having children!! A must for any parent who wants to tire out their children and gain back some time to themselves in the evening. Highly recommended venue to any parent

Lianne Ferris 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lovely big soft play for the kids, but small enough area that you can keep an eye on them, and they can come and find you easily. Food always hot and freshly cooked and staff really helpful. And you only pay entry for children over 1, not adults too, with a reduced rate for siblings. Excellent value for money.
