Facilities
The Sports Centre has a range of indoor and outdoor facilities available all year round, including dedicated fitness suites. Check out what we have to offer! If you decide you'd like to hire a particular facility, please view the bookings page for further information.
The Sports Centre is a University sports facility, so both students and staff are important, and do have a high priority to us. Most of our indoor facilities are only accessible by the general public out of term time. Of course public membership is available, and this will allow you access to the fitness facilities throughout the year, but the number of Associate Members is limited.
The facilities for sporting activity are comparable to most other universities. The outdoor grass playing fields of over 40 acres are much admired by those who play on them. Although lacking a swimming pool, the indoor facilities provide for most sports and there is an extensive range of personal exercise equipment in three gyms. The all-weather facilities of tennis courts, track, cricket bays and astro-pitch are open to the public year-round and are floodlit.
Note: Community facilities are open to the general public subject to a usage charge - see the price guide for details. An extensive programme of community classes and courses is available.
