If your club needs to access facilities for a relatively short period of time (e.g. either a couple of hours on a weekday evening or one evening a week for the playing season), you should consider contacting your local sports/leisure centre or private leisure facility to enquire about bookings. For busy facilities, the pressure on space is so high that you may have to accept a booking time/day which is not your first choice or you may need to wait for the start of a new booking period to be accommodated.

Leasing Facilities

Many Local Authorities will consider entering into agreements with sports/physical activity clubs to lease/licence premises or facilities based on a number of terms. These may include the long-term leasing of existing premises on an exclusive basis, to the shorter-term letting of facilities for specific days or times on a regular basis.
