Venue Questions
Can I book / provide my own venue?
Yes, we can travel to your venue.
We will need approximately 25m x 25m, access to power and the surface must be suitable for a sporting activity with no obstacles or uneven ground that could cause injury. The pitch hired must be either grass, astro, 3G/4G or all weather multi purpose. We cannot play on concrete or tennis courts. If you are playing indoors this must be a sports hall and we will need clearance from the sports centre to use the facility.
If you provide your own venue and we are unable to run your activity due to health and safety (above requirements not met) there will be no refund.
What is a 3G/4G pitch?
3G/4G pitches are the most significant and successful development in synthetic surface technology designed for football and rugby at both competitive and recreational levels.
In 3G turf, the pile (artificial grass ‘blades’) is supported by a thin base layer of sand, and by an infill of rubber crumb.
The pile height ranges from 40mm to 65mm depending on which primary sport is to be played on the surface.
Is there parking and changing facilities at my venue?
Most of our venues have shower and changing facilities that can be used before leaving your event, please ask us to confirm at time of booking.
Parking is venue dependent, and if required please inform us and we can look to accommodate this.
