We have two floodlight MUGAs (Multi User Games Areas) within the village for general play and group/club bookings. The one on the recreation ground off Church Road can be booked via the parish council. The other at Harris Way adjacent to the community centre can be booked via the management entity that also looks after the community centre. At the moment, this facility is not available for hire.

All parish council-owned recreational facilities are inspected weekly and monthly by parish council staff. A more thorough inspection is carried out annually by Playsafety Ltd – a RoSPA[1] accredited company who provide detailed, written reports and recommendations. These are implemented when necessary by the parish council in order to ensure all areas remain safe for use and in good working order.
