SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Here are some ideas of things to do in the
evening during your stay.
The town has an excellent Olympic-size
swimming pool with additional facilities, such
as sauna and a warm-up gym area. Use of the
swimming pooi and gym costs £3 per visit,
whilst use of the sauna is £2. It is not necessary
to book.
There’s also a leisure centre with indoor
tennis, five-a-side football, bowling and many
other activities. The centre charges £10 per visit,
plus a book of tickets which you use for each
activity. Tickets are £1 each. You need to book
in advance, stating your choice of activity.
Just outside of town, there’s a place where you
can go horse-riding. This costs £15 per hour if
you can already ride, while the cost of an
instructor is £10 extra per hour. Horse-riding can
be booked online or by phone (010-334-445 7).
For those who prefer something less energetic,
the town offers various museums and a
modern art gallery, which are all definitely
worth a visit. Highly recommended is the
Museum of Sculpture which has works by
many famous international artists as well as
local sculptors. Entrance is free to local
museums, but the art gallery charges £5 (group
discount may be available).
Shopping is, of course, a favourite amongst
visitors, and most shops are open until 9 p.m.
The Burrlngton Mall is extremely popular,
but not particularly cheap. In the small streets
behind the mall, local craftsmen still produce
hand-made jewellery and pottery. They are
always willing to give demonstrations of
their work.
