Hatfield Leisure Centre is set to open its doors to people who are in need of a warm space during the cold winter months. 

In response to this winter’s cost of living crisis, Better leisure centres and libraries, offer these warm spaces to anyone living in the area. 

“For a few hours a day in the leisure centre and throughout the day at libraries, you'll receive a warm welcome, comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi plus the chance to charge your phone and portable devices. Our warm spaces sessions are for everyone in our community,” Better said. 

Gosling Sports Park in Welwyn Garden City will also be hosting the warm spaces shelter.

As well as the above, participating libraries are expanding their programmes of free on-site activities.

From reading and crafting groups, to board game sessions, yoga and ‘rattle & rhyme’ activities for mothers and babies, there's something for everyone this winter.

Tea, coffee and biscuits will also be available in all their sites. 

Hatfield Leisure Centre and Gosling Sports Park will both be open from 6am to 10pm from Monday to Friday and 8am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
