Sports

As well as the wide variety of sports and activities we run fun packed junior development programmes.  And we set up an extensive summer holiday programme for youngsters. The brand new floor, unlike the previous one, has a reinforced foam layer for the comfort and greater safety of knees and hips.  It is a Taraflex floor. If you’re interested, this standard is known as EN14904. The Hall is available to hire for a range of activities for example 5-a-side Football, Basketball and Badminton.  The system will be Pay & Play.

Conference, Function & Meeting Rooms

We have spacious meeting rooms with natural light coming in from windows on two sides, and it can seat up to 90 people in a cinema style setting.  The room can also be divided into two rooms giving you the chance to book a smaller and more intimate space. We can provide full conference facilities with comfortable tables and chairs, data projector, flip charts and stands.  The coffee shop will be able to ensure you have coffees and teas served if you wish and they can provide a buffet lunch.  But there is a kitchenette if you prefer to fend for your selves. These rooms are here for you to hire if, for example, you:

• want to gather the Reading Group together or run a Beetle Drive;
• have training you need to deliver in a bit of style;
• have an important meeting with clients where you need more space than your offices give you.
