Update on sport facilities at Harcourt Hill from April 2026

In December 2025, it was announced that the University had taken the decision to withdraw its remaining Brookes Sport operations at Harcourt Hill from 1 April 2026.

We are now pleased to confirm that a third-party provider will be utilising the indoor sport facilities, subject to final contractual confirmation which we expect to take place over the coming days.

Mind Over Matter Fitness Centre will offer fitness classes, personal training sessions and access to the site’s gym facilities from April 2026.

For further information on the new arrangements with Mind Over Matter Fitness Centre, please email mindovermatterfitnesscentre@gmail.com or visit their website, which will continue to be updated. If you are happy for us to share your contact details with the new management, please complete this Google Form.

As we announced in December 2025, the outdoor pitches at the site will continue to be available. The booking process can be found on the Brookes Sport facility webpages.

A set of frequently asked questions continues to be updated. This provides further detail on the new arrangements from April 2026 and what it means for Brookes Sport members. 

If you have any questions about the changes taking effect from 1 April 2026, please email harcourtsport-comms@brookes.ac.uk
