Facilities and hire
At Edge Hill Sport, we offer some of the best sporting facilities in the region that are fully accessible to disabled people and contain excellent provision for both indoor and outdoor sports.
Our facilities span over two sites across the Ormskirk campus, the main Sports Centre building and the Wilson building, and are available to hire to students, staff and the local community. Selected court hire is included within our membership packages or can also be booked and paid for on a casual basis. Alternatively we also offer block booking packages through our contract hire process.
Sports facilities
In order to hire facilities you will need to have your details registered on our online system by either signing up for a paid membership or a casual (pay as you go) membership. Some activities and facilities may require you to take out a contract booking which can be organised by our administration team.
Standard activities
The below activities can be booked up to 7 days in advance on our online booking system providing the booking does not require multiple facilities or activities. Any bookings for the below activities that require a greater number of participants (including spectators), multiple areas, or dates in advance of 7 days (including block bookings of the entire area) should contact [email protected] for further information.
Non standard activities

Risk assessments and hirer responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the hirer to develop and adhere to their own risk assessments for the activities they are delivering, as well as to supervise participants. They should include information such as are the participants fit enough to take part, are any coaches/instructors competent, how many adults will be present to supervise children being brought in by their booking etc. It is also the hirer’s responsibility to be able to make available these activity risk assessments to EHS and ensure that they are read and understood by all attendees of their sessions. Any activities not stated on the risk assessment will not be able to go ahead.
Facility risk assessments are available on our website to indicate how Edge Hill Sport (EHS) control the risk with the provision of the area.
