Whenever the sports hall, or part of it, is free you can book a court to play badminton, pickleball or table tennis. Price £12 per hour. See the timetable link on the home page for an idea of when it might be free and then phone us or book on line to secure your court. If you would like a regular booking, the price could be reduced.
We have a reduced price of £6 per court for juniors to play racquet sports (badminton, pickleball or table tennis), when the courts are available. This can not be pre-booked but is a pay and play as you go rate.
You may be interested to know how our air handling system works. It is very efficient and it does not recyle the air. It draws in fresh air as described here. This is an important point for your safety in these times.
The sports hall has four badminton courts and competition standard nets which can be erected when needed. Individual courts can be booked at certain times or you can book the whole hall for your club practice.

Contact Vijay by email: vijaysmobile@gmail.com or on 01993 891 043 to join any of these sessions.
You can also hire a court to play pickleball (or any other sport) and the Community Centre has plenty of Pickleball paddles and balls that you can borrow if you don’t have your own.
Charlbury has a well established tennis club that caters for both those who want to play competitive league tennis and those who want to play socially. The club presently runs several men’s, ladies and mixed doubles teams with matches played both at the weekend and in the evenings all year round. The club runs three weekly social sessions.
For further information, please phone Mark Jarman on 01608 811692, email charlburytennis@hotmail.co.uk or go to the tennis club website.
You can book the outdoor tennis courts on Nineacres and the indoor tennis court in the sports hall through the “Booking” button on this website.
You can play with friends at any time when there is a free court or the TG oom is free. There are three tables, together with plenty of bats, balls etc. Cost £12 an hour – but you can have two tables for that price, £6 for juniors (walk in rate only; junior rate cannot be booked in advance).
Our weekly Scrabble sessions stat at 2pm every Monday. Do come along and have a game. Everyone is welcome.
This new session is aimed at promoting strength, stability and flexibility and thereby helping to prevent falls.
Tuesdays at 3pm.
A big thank you to everyone involved with the visit of The Countess of Wessex to Charlbury on 17th May. The Countess spent time visiting the Community Centre, chatting with people from our coffee club, singing with children from Charlbury Pre-school and watching Pickleball and Line Dancing. The Countess was met by enthusiastic children on the Playing Close, where she planted a tree for the Queen's Green Canopy, before making her way to The Cornerstone to find out about its community initiatives.
We would especially like to thank Oxfordshire Lieutenancy for organsing this special visit.
Would you be interested in a Community Workshop? Please get in touch to offer your help in organising this or just to join the movement.
