Swinton Lock Activity Centre is a trusted safe space, committed to delivering emotional, social and wellbeing services, which are community led.
We are based adjacent to the South Yorkshire Navigational Canal and own two narrow boats, one of which is fully accessible. Both boats are used to offer boat-handling courses, volunteering opportunities and pleasure trips to both children and adults.
What we Do
Swinton Lock Activity Centre provides an extensive range of activities and support for both young and old.
Room Hire
Our location, facilities and ample parking also make Swinton Lock an ideal location for meetings, conferences and parties.
Boat Trips & Training
Join our experienced crew for a relaxing cruise along the canal. Learn how to skipper the boat and manage locks.
Open Days
We also hold regular open days where you can come to meet the staff and sample many of the activities we have to offer.
We are back TODAY!
Parents must drop off their children for the first session, to be signed in and collect them to be signed out. Children are welcome to bring pocket money for the tuck shop. Gates will be closed for the younger age group, but they are left open with no parent or guardian required for the older children’s session.
Our youth group runs every Thursday during the term time. Your children are welcome to join us without prior booking, and the sessions are FREE!

That is a shame, the meets, and the old men in sheds are greatly missed.
A big THANK YOU to Uppercrust and to Max Richardson from Aqurate Rail, for supporting our community kitchen events.
As a charity we rely on the kindness of others, which luckily Swinton has plenty of. Without your generosity we would not be able to do as much as we do.
Day two of our community kitchen event. Op down for brunch with the Easter bunny and his gang. Kids under 12 eat FREE! No need to book.
