Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information

Closure information

In line with the placement of Greater Manchester into Tier Four restrictions, ALL Active Tameside venues have been closed to the public since 00:01 on 31st December 2020, and will remain closed until further notice.

We understand that this decision will come as a disappointment to many, but ultimately the health and wellbeing of our customers, staff and the community we serve is our highest priority.

Given the day-by-day evolution of the pandemic and its impact on society as a whole, we are unable to give any indication of the closure period though we will provide updates as and when we have them. During this time we will continue to follow the advice provided by Government, Public Health England and the NHS.

In line with many of the services provided by Tameside Council, we will look to innovate in order to perpetuate the delivery of services to our most vulnerable users. Indeed, our dedicated staff will be made available to assist the Council as it strives to maintain vital services across the care spectrum.

If you are one of our paying members, please see below for how this affects your membership.
