About the facilities

There are a variety of rooms available to hire by the hour, half day or full day. The rooms can be hired seven days a week, including evenings and holidays.  

The hireable rooms include the sports hall and Weymouth Family Hub. The hub can be hired individually or as a combined package with the sports hall.

If you are hiring the Family Hub for the purpose of supporting children, young people or families and the service you are providing is free at the point of entry to the families, then you might be entitled to book the hub for free.  Find out more about Family Hubs. 

Location

Situated alongside the Rodwell Trail, and just a 5 minute walk to the harbour or 15 minutes to the beach, it's a great venue to consider using as a base for Weymouth sporting events. We have extensive changing and shower facilities and equipment storing and drying capacity. 

If you are looking to hold an exclusive function, it is possible to hire the entire facility.

Parking

There is plenty of free car parking next to the building and easy disabled access.

Evening and weekend access

During evenings and weekends there is a £63 facilitation fee for locking/unlocking and being a point of contact for the duration of your hire. This fee is waivered if you make a regular booking of The Weymouth Family Hub.  For such regular bookings, you will be shown how to access the self contained suite with key/code access. 

Sports Hall

The Sports Hall has a wooden sports floor, with sports benches and climbing facilities surrounding three of the four walls (climbing apparatus are not to be used during the hire). The room is heated in winter and has high level windows that open to add ventilation in summer months. The sports hall has a suggested capacity of approx. 80 standing or 30 seated. Desks and chairs can be provided. The sports hall can be hired with the Hub as a combined facility providing you with a separate entrance to the main reception along with other benefits.
