Paying for a pitch

  • You will be invoiced for the pitch hire after the event.
  • You will then be able to pay by cheque or postal order.
  • You are advised not to send cash through the post.

In case of bad weather

If we deem the pitch unsafe to play on, we will contact you the Thursday before the weekend of booking. Alternatively, the decision may be left to the discretion of the site referee. Information will be posted on Live in Kirklees and Playing Pitches in Kirklees

Safety

It is important for spectators and members of the public that all sports centres follow the government regulations and are certified for safety.

Catering

You can book out leisure facilities for events, meetings and parties when they are free.
