These clubs provide an excellent way to meet new people, stay active, and share common passions.

Inclusive Activities to Support Wellbeing

Beyond clubs, Panthers Penrith offers free gentle exercise classes every Monday and Thursday, designed to promote physical health and mental clarity. Visitors can also enjoy social activities such as poker nights on Wednesdays and Sundays, free trivia on Tuesdays, and vibrant live music Fridays through Sundays with DJs on weekends—perfect opportunities to relax, have fun, and connect.
