If you are over 60 and live in or around Leeds then LeedsCard 60 is your way to get more from the city.
LeedsCard 60 gets you discounted entry into all the Leeds City Council visitor attractions such as Tropical World, Lotherton Hall, Temple Newsam, Home Farm and several more. You can also claim discounts for selected performances and concerts at The Carriageworks - Leeds’ newest theatre, and the Town Hall.
You can also get discounts at the Council sport and leisure centres, for example if you like swimming you can save 80p at peak times and £1.80 off every weekday off peak swim. If you enjoy a game of golf then the LeedsCard 60 can get you discounted rates on weekday pay and play at Leeds City Council golf courses.
Not only do you get discounts and special offers at the Council facilities but you can also get discounts at many other visitor attractions, theatres, shops and restaurants around Leeds. To view a full list click on the download on the right hand side of this page.
You will also receive the LeedsCard magazine once you have joined. Everything you need to know about how, when and where to use your card, delivered direct to your door three times each year. It’s your chance to keep up to date with all the opportunities on offer, with great one-off deals, behind the scenes visits, competitions and more.
Who can get a LeedsCard 60
Anyone over the age of 60 (proof of age required on application) can apply for a LeedsCard 60. However if you are a resident of Leeds (pay your council tax to Leeds City Council) and in receipt of benefits such as pension credit - or if you hold a Blue Badge or a disabled person's bus pass - you can get a LeedsCard 60 Extra.
The ‘Extra’ card gives you even more discount at Council leisure centres as well as discounted season tickets at Leeds City Council golf courses.
How much does it cost?
Both LeedsCard 60 and LeedsCard 60 Extra cost only £2 and there is no need to renew it each year as it lasts for the duration of the scheme. So after a couple of swims you will have more than made your money back!
How to apply for a card
