Sports Facilities



Lye Recreation Field  The Seend Lye Recreation Field, whilst open to the public, is a managed facility held in trust for the people of Seend.  We support the  use of the field by any legitimate sports team or group wishing to reserve the facility for group recreation.  We regret we cannot welcome teams and groups who have neglected to make a paid-for reservation!   Groups of people meeting for a Sunday morning kick about, for example, may be inconvenienced by a sports team or private party reservations.  Please be kind and considerate if this happens.

Sports Team Changing Rooms  Two team changing rooms are available for hire at the time of booking.  Showers/WC available.    

Tennis Courts  The two tennis courts are operated by Seend Tennis Club and bookable online. ​When booking a court, login to http://Clubspark.lta.org.uk/SeendTennisClub, go to 'Court Bookings' page, look at the top right "View my bookings' and scroll to "view as member', which should allow you to book a court.
