Football
Pitches
Soccarena
has 8 state of the art floodlit indoor 6-a-side pitches all
separately cordoned off. All pitches are 3rd generation
turf which is the closest thing to playing on grass as the latest
technology can provide.
Outdoor there is a magnificent 11-a-side floodlit
pitch which current Unibond North League champions team Durham
City F.C. play their home games. The pitch outside can be
transformed into 8 6-a-side pitches or 4 7-a-side pitches with 2
different options on goal sizes. Each pitch is separated by 12
foot high nets that go all the way around the perimeter of the
individual pitches.
Teams and people from all over the north east,
whether they are professional or not, use Soccarena’s
facilities on a regular basis for things such as tournaments,
charity events and corporate days.
All pitches are available for hire. To book contact us

occasions and has had many memorable nights
'The
Club bars
The
main bar/lounge is used for drinks before and after Durham’s
home games mostly but is available for parties, conferences and any
other functions.
The
Sammy Crooks suite is used mainly for match day sponsors as a V.I.P
lounge and private bar but is also available to book for small
conferences/training days, if the main bar is taken.
Stadium
Café Bar
Soccarena
recently launched a café bar run from the sports bar which
serves hot and cold snacks, from full English breakfasts to fresh
country salads available to eat in or take away from 9am until

Kitchens
The
Soccarena Café bar also deals with catering for the
children’s parties and can provide a delightful buffet for
any organised event held within Soccarena,
The
‘club’ kitchen sells food on match days and can cater
for small finger buffets to a five course a la carte
menu.
Conference
Rooms
Soccarena’s
conference room ‘theatre style’ can seat approximately
50 people, but is versatile and is used for many different
gatherings. Socatots uses the room to introduce games to infants,
whilst the college has used it as a dance studio. F.A. courses are
run from it and many weekly meetings are based from here.
The
club has two rooms available for such events and is often used by
Durham County Council to run courses for Driver Improvement and
Speed Awareness.
Children’s
Party Room
The
party room is a secure private room where the children are taken
for food, drinks and presentations after their parties. With
football memorabilia on the walls of the room its is perfect to
keep the mood going until the very finish.
Inflatables
Feedback
from children’s parties tells us the highlight of their day
is usually the inflatables. The ‘Speedshot’,
judges how hard you can strike a ball in miles per hour, which is
great competitive entertainment. The ‘Powersave’
is a bouncy castle with a goal on the back, and includes a ball
launcher that fires sponge balls at the goal while the children
have to dive about trying to save them. Difficulty levels can be
changed to suit age and ability.
The
inflatables are used mainly for Soccarena birthday parties but
sometimes get used for multi sports days and charity
events.
Changing
rooms
Soccarena
provides separate luxury changing facilities for both sexes (two
males, one female) including showers and changing area. The club
has home and away dressing rooms plus match officials changing
rooms, all with showers and toilets provided.
Sports
Therapist room
Durham
F.C. have there own sports massage therapist who deals with
treatment of and prevention of sports injuries and muscle
management. This is available to players of all ages throughout our
academy should injuries occur, which is not something most clubs
provide.
Parking
spaces
With
approximately 120 spaces available including disabled parking,
there is often more than enough space provided, but should there be
a problem Soccarena has access to an over spill car park on
site.
