Block Bookings Information
What is a block booking?
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. Not ready to commit to a block booking? Then you may prefer to casually book your preferred court/pitch/area at the centre, one visit at a time.
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)
