Fownhope Bookings

Fownhope Pavilion - Perfect for Meetings, Family Parties and Celebrations!

Fownhope Pavilion is set within 11.5 acres of playing fields and with beautiful views across the Wye Valley it's the ideal venue for any small to medium sized meeting or celebration.  Originally created as a sports pavilion the main rooms, along with a well-equipped kitchen, are now completely separate from the sports facilities and are used for family parties, keep fit classes, yoga, public and private meetings, parish council meetings and as a centre for activities using the sports field and surrounding countryside.  The pavilion is available for hire on an hourly basis, as are the changing rooms.

The playing fields are used for a range of sports and numerous other less organised leisure activities.  It's the home of the Fownhope Strollers Cricket Club in the Summer and Fownhope Football Club in the Winter and is regularly used for a variety of other events throughout the year.  Sporting facilities include 2 football pitches, a cricket square, a Boules Court, a skateboard facility and a floodlit practice area.  There is an excellent play area suitable for children up to the age of 12 and it is hoped to provide facilities for older children in the near future.

The Pavilion and field are managed and maintained by the Fownhope Recreational Field Association (FRFA); this Committee is made up of a team of volunteers.
