SIC 90–93 · 94
Sports clubs, gyms and leisure centres, theatres, museums and visitor attractions, trade and professional bodies, trade unions and religious organisations: for equipment suppliers, insurers, sponsorship agencies and software vendors who want to reach this group by post.
Our UK dataset holds 2,676,396 records (as at 4 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.
Export of the whole industry: £229 (full price). Selections by nation, postcode area or your own filters are quoted on request.
Official statistics: 101,020 businesses in the UK according to ONS, UK business: activity, size and location 2026 (enterprises in March 2026, published 24 September 2026). Partial coverage: section R arts, entertainment and recreation (divisions 90 to 93: 78,205) plus division 94 activities of membership organisations (22,815). Clubs and associations that are not registered for VAT or PAYE are not included. This is the size of the market, not the size of our dataset.
The industry links section R of UK SIC 2007 (arts, entertainment and recreation, gambling included) with division 94 (membership organisations). The ONS counts only organisations registered for VAT or PAYE, so clubs without such a registration are missing from the official figure.
Golf, cricket and football clubs are sport clubs (93.12), leisure centres and swimming pools sports facilities (93.11). A social club licensed to sell alcohol is a licensed club (56.30/1) and belongs to hospitality.

Clubs take many legal forms: unincorporated associations, companies limited by guarantee, charities, co-operatives and community amateur sports clubs.
These 15 columns are included.
A gym can be a limited company or a members’ club, a theatre a charity or part of a council. The legal form matters as much as the SIC code; the legal_form column shows it where known.
For a small club the contact address can be a volunteer’s home. That is fine for a postal mailing, but it is personal data under UK GDPR: give the Art. 14 information and respect objections. The export has no column for officials’ names.
Under PECR reg. 2 an “individual” includes an unincorporated body of individuals. An unincorporated club therefore needs consent or a soft opt-in before marketing emails (reg. 22); a club incorporated as a company is a corporate subscriber.
Example request: we sell sports ground equipment and are looking for sport clubs and facilities (SIC 93.11 and 93.12) in Wales, the North West and the West Midlands with a complete address, for a postal mailing in spring. How many records is that?

Questions
No list can promise that. Unincorporated clubs are not at Companies House and are on the charity registers or the CASC list only if they are charities or CASCs. The export contains clubs that appear with an address in our sources, typically those with a website.
Yes. Gyms are fitness facilities (93.13), leisure centres sports facilities (93.11). Where a record carries a UK SIC code (from the Companies House match, which is in progress), they can be selected by that code. Otherwise we select by business category and name on request; the quote states how precise the selection is.
An unincorporated club counts as an individual under PECR: you need consent or a soft opt-in. Incorporated clubs and trade bodies are corporate subscribers: no prior consent, but identify yourself and give an opt-out. Details: PECR rules for B2B email and calls.
