Cafe Holiday

by Leave a Comment

The Cafe will be on holiday until the Tuesday 29th August.

A note from Shell our catering manager and our @thehubcommunitycafe superstar!

As most of our customers know, I am a ‘one man cooking band’ so when I am off… So is the menu! Keep yours eye peeled though, as this is going to change very soon and we will be on the look out for another chef to extend our opening hours and ensure you guys never miss out on our breakfasts, brunches and lunches 👍🏻

The cafe will still be open for drinks, cakes and bakes, confectionary and ice creams

Friday 18th 11am-1pm

Saturday 19th 11am-1pm

Tuesday 22nd 12:30-2:30

Friday 25th 11am-1pm

Saturday 26th 11am-1pm

Any other days where Penistone Leisure Centre have activities running, the reduced cafe offering will be open during those sessions.

Our Rent a Crates remain open for purchases and we have some gorgeous, locally produced items in them from pottery to jewellery, stationary and gift cards, knitting, crocheted items, dog treats and so much more.

Sponsored Skate Tour!

by Leave a Comment

Would you like to come on a tour with us along the Trans Pennine Trail on skates?

Could you help us raise money for new skates at Penistone Leisure Centre?

There are 2 challenges, both starting on the Trans Pennine Trail at Penistone on Wednesday 18th August.

–    3.5 mile route – open to skaters who can do a good heel brake stop (or other stop)

–    1 mile route – open to anyone aged 5+ who can skate unaided

This is open to adults and children, and you can choose whether to pay full price for the tour, or pay the reduced price and raise sponsorship.

Bring a picnic to eat on the route for both challenges.

Supporting adults welcome (but optional) on skates / cycles for the 3.5 mile route or on foot/ skates for the 1 mile route.

You can support in your absence by sponsoring our skaters here

All money goes towards buying new skates.

Qualified skate instructors Rachel and Davy will be there to help you improve your skills and support you on the route. The one mile route is completely off road and on a flat, tarmacked trail. The 3.5 mile route includes slopes and some time on a cul-de-sac next to the trail, practicing jumping off kerbs and other tricks. How much of this you take part in is up to you.

Skates, pads and helmets can be provided – please request on the booking form. Pads and helmets must be worn.

About the route:

Skaters on the 3.5 mile route will start at St. John’s Community Centre, Penistone, meeting from 10am (to start at 10:30am). They will join the 1 mile skaters on the trail at the bridge over Green Road near Springvale school, who will meet there from 11:15am (to start at 11:45am). We’ll all have our picnic lunch together at Oxspring Sidings and the 1 mile skaters will finish at the bridge over Roughbirchworth Lane (opposite Oxspring Park) at around 2pm. The 3.5 mile skaters will continue on to the bridge on Cote Lane, Thurgoland (uphill from The Bridge Inn) and are expected to finish at around 3:30pm

For full details, including how to book your spot, the route information and a downloadable sponsor form can be found HERE.

With lots planned for the February half-term holiday we will need lots of help – are you about?

We have skating 2pm-4pm each day that’s Monday, February 18 – Friday, February 22, plus an extra day’s holiday skate for the inset day on Monday, February 25.

And that means there will be extra gym sessions everyday too – between 2pm and 4pm (no after school skate/gym on the Wednesday – Feb 20) on all those days.

There’s a swegway obstacle course 4pm-5pm on Friday (Feb 22) and all the normal weekend skating (with a visit from the Art Explosion team during the 12noon-2pm skate session on the last Saturday of the holidays – Feb 23).

There will also be a table tennis coaching session planned for the Friday (Feb 25) – times and other details are yet to be confirmed.
