Our online booking system is for Badminton, Squash, Table Tennis and booking the whole of the main hall (which is achieved by booking all 5 badminton courts).

Our charity began as voluntary based and continues to evolve as we seek to expand our community asset. Having rescued the sports hall from closure in 2010, we are still aiming to improve our tenure with the pursuit of an extended lease from Norfolk County Council.

Once you are a member your entry will be inclusive and you will gain access to our online booking system that allows you to book up to 3 weeks in advance.

Fantastic experience: Sadly whilst not doing so well in the latest badminton tournament I was able to cast an eye over this centre I had not had occasion in the past to visit. Well supplied with gym equipment and the 4 court hall was well lit with a good floor surface. Tea coffee etc available. Yes. I would return.

Positive experience: 3 squash courts, not sure what availability is like. Always popular for badminton with around 6 courts. We play basketball here twice a week. It can be rather cold in winter and floor is hard concrete which isn't great if you have any joint problems. The rings and backboards have seen better days but perfectly adequate.
