Leisure and Play - Hampshire Gateway

The Gateway Card and Gateway Card+ are free cards for children and young people between the ages of 0-17 years who live in the Hampshire County Council area.

If you are a parent of a child or young person who needs additional support to attend community activities, playschemes or leisure activities, you can apply on the Hampshire County Council website.

There are a number of leisure and play activity providers throughout Hampshire and further afield who recognise the Gateway Card as evidence that your child or young person requires additional support to access their attraction. To find a list of those providers please click on the Gateway Card tile below.

If you are looking for Short Break funded activities for your child or young person to do with their Gateway Card+ these can be found under the Gateway Card+ section below.

What is a Short Break?

A Short Break enables children and young people with disabilities and/or additional needs to join in with safe, fun and interesting activities while at the same time giving parents/carers an opportunity to have a short break from caring.

There are a range of leisure and recreation opportunities taking place around Hampshire including specialist and mainstream schemes.  You can search for leisure and play activities in your area on this page.
