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.
