Sporting Blakesley

Sporting Blakesley encompasses the sports of cricket, tennis and football within Blakesley. We support the development of the next generation of players through coaching and training. We also bring the community together through events such as the free Easter Egg hunt we provide each year and the pensioners' lunch, plus the regular sporting fixtures throughout the year. We raise money to support these activities by regular subscriptions, an end of year dinner with auction and various fundraising events such as car rallies, the Easter duck race, family fun day and an annual Sevens tournament involving teams from around Northamptonshire and the surrounding area.

Our Constitution is available here.

Marquee for Hire

Sporting Blakesley can offer a 12x4m marquee for use at events held in the Benefice. The marquee provides extra capacity to the Village Hall, or as a standalone temporary building, and covers the probability of the English weather being English. The cost of the marquee is £300 and covers the delivery, build, dismantling and collection from your event location.
