Badminton Courts
Came for badminton, court itself was good. There was a spare court next to us that a couple of us waiting to play were using to hit about, and we had that spare court booked later, the earliest available slot for it. Despite us being the only people in the hall, the staff came in to take the spare court down saying that there is nothing in here till later on. They just left us with the space but no net despite them having to come back later to set it up again. I get that we didn't have it booked, but it seemed unnecessary to take this down when we were the only ones in the space. If we could have we would have booked the two courts from the start, but we were unable to book it earlier as it was not available on the booking platform. Was told this is because that space is usually used at that time, but was not this evening. Would be great if the platform could change to allow for bookings if there is the space.

I took my grandson and some friends to Sobell centre and I had got the wrong tickets, they couldn’t give me my money back at the desk and told me to get in touch with customer services, so I had to buy more tickets for the active multi play that I wanted. Customer services were extremely kind and helped me sort out the refund by giving me credit on my account for the next time I want to take the grandchildren. Thank you better!

Poor SEND gymnastics
It's so hard to find send gymnastics classes and when I read on Sobell website about their SEND gymnastics classes I was excited, it said not to arrive late because you miss warm up. We got there and it was pretty much a stay and play and the teacher is you. She learnt nothing to do with gymnastics and was bored before our time was up not knowing what to do. I would look elsewhere for gymnastics classes for children with SEND.

Brought few children for the multi zone…
Brought few children for the multi zone active play today and whilst they all had a great time, us parents were concerned on the amount of people allowed in the area both in multi zone and the active play which is the soft play bit. It was extremely crowded and just felt very chaotic.
My daughter celebrated her birthday in the active play
Last month and we had the same issue of overcrowding and pure chaos. We had 21 kids and was given a tiny space in the party room where all kids were squeezed and uncomfortable. It was such a shame as the play areas are really great but the running and management of it lacks control. I understand that the place has to make money but if it continues with how it's being run at the moment, it will start failing and accidents will start happening.
We do love the place and the facilities that infact, I booked my son's birthday in Nov at multizone active play. I just hope the management will listen and sort out the overcrowding issue and chaotic nature of the place.

Today I visited the gym very pleasant staff very helpful, lovely atmosphere.
I then had booked in for a sauna and steam only to find out once I was in that area that the sauna was not working and has not been working for the past six months this would’ve been very helpful when booking or when being at the Entre told by a member of staff that the sauna was not working Also, the steam room wasn’t very hot.

I decided to take me 7 year son out today to the Sobell Centre Active play area. Shortly after arriving there, they asked me to book online, so I went ahead and did so!. To my annoyance, we book, I logged back into my account no booking was not showing up! Want nonsense if a slot is available took book then it’s available that day correct, I’ll never step one foot in that place again! I’m disappointed and disgusted by this. Short out your booking system how are you charging me then I can’t take my son inside! If payed the goods should be delivered

Your feedback about the online booking system is very concerning, and we agree that if payment is taken, access should be guaranteed. Please rest assured that we are urgently investigating this issue with our system provider to ensure it doesn't happen again.
In the meantime, we’d be grateful for the opportunity to look into your specific case and make it right if you were debited. If you're open to it, please email us at customerservices@gll.org with the email address used for booking and any confirmation details you may have received.
We sincerely value all our visitors and hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Your experience is not reflective of the standard we aim to uphold, and we appreciate your honest feedback in helping us improve.

Sobells Active Multi Zone…
Attended Sobells Active Multi Zone launch event over the weekend & it was incredible. I took 5 boys aged 9-11 and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were worn out by the end of the session. Staff were friendly and interacted with the children which was good to see. The zip line was great fun and despite the queues all kids managed to have a turn. Will definitely be returning soon.
