About the 5-a-side 3G Pitch at Marlborough Primary School
This isn't your average 5-a-side setup. Sitting on the rooftop of Marlborough Primary School, the pitch offers:
Full-size 5-a-side dimensions: 60ft x 90ft (18m x 27m).
3G artificial turf, giving consistent footing and true ball roll in all weather.
Floodlights, so evening bookings are just as playable as daytime ones.
Genuinely unique rooftop surroundings you won't find at your average sports centre.

Opening Hours
The pitch is available for hire:
Weekdays: 4pm - 10pm
Weekends: 8am - 10pm
Floodlighting means the evening slots are just as usable as the daytime ones, so you're not limited to booking around daylight hours.
Availability
As a popular venue for 3G pitch hire, a number of slots are already held by long-term regulars who book on an ongoing basis. That said, there's still good availability - particularly at weekends and on weekday evenings between 4pm and 6pm. If those times work for you, it's well worth getting in early to lock in a regular slot before it's taken.
Pricing
Hire starts from £113.96 per hour. If you're planning a regular booking of 12 or more sessions within the same hire block - for example, a weekly five-a-side team, a training group, or a corporate league - the price is negotiable directly with the Schools Plus team. This makes it a genuinely cost-effective option for anyone setting up an ongoing booking rather than a one-off game.
