Family Time Weekends – FAQ’s

What is #FTW?

Family Time Weekends runs at Great Sankey Neighbourhood Hub and Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub. These sessions offer a variety of activities for all the family to get involved in, all under one roof and all for one price – or FREE for LiveWire members.

There are also family fun activities, ran by delivery partners Activate Fun, for which spaces can either be pre-booked or attended on a drop-in basis (subject to capacity).

Whether you choose to participate in one activity, or try them all – the choice is yours! These sessions are designed to enable you to create your own schedule for your day.

What activities will there be?

  • Swimming – Families will have exclusive use of the pool throughout the period of the session. Children under the age of 16 years will need to be accompanied by an adult 18 years+, likewise, adults can only enter if they are attending with children under the age 16 years.
  • Family Fun Sessions – These sessions are a series of activities such as ball games for all the family (age 3+) to participate in and are delivered by Activate Fun. All the activities will promote healthy lifestyles within families.
  • Virtual Classes- These are parent and child Sh’Bam and Body Combat classes that are on a screen with virtual instructors. Body Combat is a high-energy martial-arts inspired workout which is non-contact and there are no complex moves to master. Sh’Bam is a fun-loving, insanely addictive dance workout. These workouts are for ages 11+.

Do you have to stay for the full 3 hours?

No. FTW is designed to enable you to create your own schedule for the day so you can choose one activity or stay for them all. We have a mixture of scheduled and drop in sessions, so you can plan a day that works best for you!

What is the supervision policy?

FTW is very much about families participating in physical activity together. It is expected that adults will participate in the activities with their child(ren). Children must be accompanied by an adult in all activities. The ratio is 1 adult to a maximum of 2 children for all activities.

The adult should maintain a constant watch over the children for whom they are responsible.

LiveWire’s standard swimming pool supervision policies apply.

There are some age restrictions for specific activities:

  • Soft play is for children aged 5 years and below
  • The Minimum age for the Family Fun sessions by Activate Fun is age 3+.
  • Children must be ages 11 and over to participate in the Parent and Children Virtual Classes at Great Sankey Neighbourhood Hub. An adult must also be present during this class.

Is food available?

Is there Parking?
