We provide high-quality, well maintained outdoor pitches for training, competition and casual hire.

Brookes Sport, Headington

Empty Astro

Astro - Synthetic Turf Pitch (STP)

The Brookes Sport, Headington sand-based and floodlit STP can be booked as the full pitch, 1/2 pitch or 1/4 pitch depending on the booking requirements.

The pitch is used on Wednesday afternoons between mid-October and the end of March as the home ground for the TEAMBrookes Hockey Club BUCS fixtures. It is also used by the following TEAMBrookes Sports Club as a training venue: Football, Lacrosse, Softball, Touch Rugby and Ultimate Frisbee.

The Brookes Sport STP is also the home of Oxford Hockey Club.

There is much greater availability for booking our STP out of term time, once the student sport programme has concluded.

Care for your pitches: no studs are allowed on the pitches and please ensure shoes are not muddy so to keep the STP safe for activities.

Grass Pitches

 Alert - Our grass pitches are not bookable until further notice. If you have any questions about a booking please contact our team via sportsbookings@brookes.ac.uk.

We have various grass pitches available for hire at Brookes Sport, Harcourt Hill and the option to book the use of changing facilities.

They also are the home our TEAMBrookes Football, Lacrosse and Ultimate Frisbee fixtures on BUCS Wednesdays. 

Due to the location of Brookes Sport, Harcourt Hill, our pitches are the first to thaw and fast to drain making them the ideal home venue to avoid those cancelled winter fixtures.

There is much greater availability for booking our grass pitches out of term time, once the student sport programme has concluded.
