Welcome to King Georges Field Website!

King George's Field is an award winning free to use sports facility for the residents of Barford, Sherbourne, and Wasperton.

We offer a variety of free facilities, including two tennis courts, a MUGA (Multi User Games Area), a childrens’ playground, an outside gym, skate ramps, basketball net and playing field.
Villagers are encouraged to form clubs and make use of our wonderful facilities!

Please look here for any field related news.

Use of the facilities is free to residents of Barford, Sherbourne and Wasperton and may be booked online for a nominal charge of £1.25 per half hour for the tennis courts and £5 an hour for the MUGA, by clicking the button above.
Bookings may be made up to 21 days ahead, subject to them being available and you will receive an email confirmation of your booking.
Initially you will be required to register your details online prior to being able to make a booking. Previous users may find that they need to re-register on our new booking system.

Barford St Peter’s School and other organised clubs will have priority over the use of the facilities but if they have booked the facilities, they will show as unavailable.

Parking is very limited, so you are asked not to use a vehicle if possible but if you do have to drive, to park on Church Road, High Street or Wasperton Lane.

“Good opportunity to have a special place to visit anytime and have fun. There will be a lot of equipment to play on when children visit during the school day. I can go with my sister and play games and when the new pitches and courts are available we can play games such as football properly, following proper rules.”

“It will provide different activities and we will be able to use this equipment for free. Families will get together and have a picnic with plenty to do on the courts and other equipment. It will provide plenty of space for dog walkers.”

"Children won’t be bored and it will be a place to meet up with friends. We have really good tennis players at school and they will be able to practice their tennis nearer to where they live. As a family it will be really spacious with lot of things to do in a safe environment.”
