Block bookings

A block booking is a repeat booking for a minimum of 10 consecutive weeks of a court, pitch or facility space within our sport and fitness centres and pools.

Benefits of block booking

If you already regularly book one of our pitches, courts, studios, facility spaces or sports halls every week, consider a block booking.

You will benefit from:

• Not having to call each week to make a booking
• Get the pitch or court you like, guaranteed every week
• Get first refusal on re-booking the same pitch/court/space when your booking expires
• Make savings on hire fees (if your block booking is for 10 or more consecutive sessions, and you pay in full in advance of the first session, a discount will apply to your block booking)
