PlayZone now open for bookings
The brand-new, state-of-the-art Bedlington PlayZone (Westlea) is your go-to outdoor sports and activity space, designed to bring people of all ages and abilities together. Whether you're looking for a friendly kickabout, a structured sports session, or just want to stay active, look no further than this all-weather sports facility which is open to everyone.
There are allocated times throughout the day that the PlayZone is free to use, meaning it cannot be booked at those times (other than special requests) and anyone wanting to use the facility during the dedicated hours is welcome to do so. This may mean sharing the court with other users/groups, so please be considerate and courteous when using the space. Bedlington Playzone’s free-to-use hours are 8am to 9am, and 3pm to 6pm, Monday to Friday in term time. It’s also free to use on Saturday and Sunday, and throughout the school holidays, unless there is a special booking.
To make a booking, visit book.footballfoundation.org.uk/BedlingtonPlayzone, choose your preferred date and time, then secure your slot. On the website, you’ll see a calendar with the date and time slots which are available to book (up to 14 days in advance) and you’ll also see the open-access times. To make a booking, simply choose your preferred date and time, then secure your slot. Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive a four-digit PIN, which you'll need to enter the facility.
For any regular-booking requests before 1st April 2026, please email SportsDevelopment@northumberland.gov.uk. The management of bookings will transfer to West Bedlington Town Council on 1st April 2026. From that date, please contact clerk@westbedlingtontowncouncil.gov.uk and we’ll aim to get back to you within three working days.
