Good afternoon all,
Today we are publishing our new price list with an effective start date of 1st April 2024. This year we face numerous increases in our expenditure, so it is necessary to implement a price increase. We continue to keep our prices as low as we can whilst covering the running costs of the facility.
All courts from 1st April 2024 will be charged at the rate listed below. Our Peak/Off Peak Timetable is also listed, please note this has changed at weekends.
To help increase availability, from 1st April we will remain open until 20:00 at the weekend as a trial. This adds additional slots on Saturdays & Sundays and we hope these get used enough to make them permanent.
This past year has been very exciting for Wensum Sports Centre, our new sports hall floor being the forefront. Also, we are busier than ever before and for that we are so incredibly grateful. Your continued support has made everything we’ve achieved possible. We look forward to delivering future projects and improvements to your WSC.

Congratulations to all our players who competed throughout, they made it a great event. As a venue we are proud to host one of the largest club championships in the county and hope that we can continue to grow the draws year after year! See you all in 2024.
On Monday 24th July we reopened our courts for public use after installing a brand new floor, get your slot booked now as we have limited availability.
Thank you for your patience during the project, we can't wait to see how much you love our new floor!
Please be aware that in order to maintain our new floor in top condition we are implementing a new shoe policy similar to that of the squash courts. This can be found below and also around the centre.
On Friday 28th of July we hosted a one off event during our game night session involving an extra hour of court time, an exhibition match featuring some of Norfolks top players along with all the usual fun and friendliness of the session.
We are so grateful for the amazing turnout for this event and look forward to hosting another in the furture.
As you are all aware our sports hall floor has been in desperate need of repair for a while now. We now have exciting news and email you today to provide advanced warning of this upcoming project at Wensum Sports Centre. From 3rd July the sports hall will be closed while replacing the floor with a brand new state of the art sports hall performance surface.
Unfortunately we don't yet have a completion date but expect to reopen upstairs on Monday 24th July at the latest. Closer to the time and as the project progresses we will keep you informed.
The centre will remain open as normal aside from the sportshall so we encourage you to try out some of our other activities.
We hope you are as excited as we are!
If you can spare 5 minutes to provide us with some feedback we would be very grateful.
This feedback form also presents an opportunity to vote for the most suitable booking release time.
