The facility
A controlled environment for year-round practice
When the North Sea wind arrives, Saltmarsh training moves indoors. Our arena houses a full-size 3G pitch, two futsal courts, graded LED lighting that mimics matchday, and viewing galleries for parents who prefer the warm.
- Full-size 3G pitch plus two sprung-floor futsal courts
- Graded lighting from skills brightness to full matchday glare
- Bookable by the hour for Saltmarsh teams, schools and community groups

Arena FAQs
Can outside teams hire the arena?
Yes — Sunday community slots and school-holiday blocks are open to all. Saltmarsh squads get priority on weekday evenings. Send us your dates through the contact page.
What footwear is allowed on the 3G?
Moulded studs, blades or astroturf trainers. No screw-in metal studs and no flat street shoes — they damage the surface and invalidate your booking.
Is there parking and refreshments?
Free parking for 120 cars, a heated viewing gallery, and the clubhouse café serving hot drinks and matchday food during evening sessions.
