Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre

Situated at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, the Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre provides high-grade athletic facilities for university teams, local sports clubs, and the general public. The venue caters to racket sports enthusiasts with dedicated courts featuring shock-absorbing surfaces and clear LED lighting designed for year-round matchplay. With a strong community presence, the centre regularly hosts weekly student sessions, open public bookings, and organised local tournaments. The environment is practical, active, and focused on functional sport delivery rather than unnecessary frills. Players can secure court times via UCLan's online booking platform or directly at the reception desk. On-site staff maintain court schedules, oversee hire equipment, and assist newcomers in finding suitable matches or coaching programmes.
