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 excited to announce that we have a new mixed Mental health support group running each Wednesday from 3pm.
we hope this will help combat loneliness and isolation whilst learning new skills in heritage carpentry. please contact Centre for further details. 01709578778. @followers Swinton Community Events - S64 Rawmarsh, Swinton, Mexborough & Wath Community Connections @followers please like our page and share. ...
