How do I book if I'm not a member?

If you do not have a membership or one of our discount cards you can still make and pay for your bookings online by signing up for a free Active Card 

An Active Card will create an online account that lets you book and pay for activities on our app or website

Helpful hint
You do not need an Active Card if you already have an online booking account with us eg if you have a membership (except soft play) or discount card. Setting up a second account may cause errors with your bookings.


1. Please click here to visit our joining system.

2. Select any venue and follow the steps before you will find the Active Card under the 'Choose Membership Duration" section. 

3. Follow the steps to complete payment (its FREE) and we will automatically create an online account for you. Once you have created your account we will send you an email to confirm it has been set up and to give you your unique Member ID. Please keep this in a safe place as you may need it in future.

Remember to download our app from the Google and Apple Stores once you have set up your account.
