Temporary closure of court.

During the current building work in the vicinity of the court it will be necessary to close the court for the safety of the public.
The court will therefore be closing on Friday 26 June 2026.
Until then you can still book the court in the usual way using the form below.

Booking the Court

See below on how to book the court in the beautiful surroundings at St Botolph without Bishopsgate
How to book the court

The Court open for tennis and netball during the times a member of staff is on the premises. These times are Monday to Friday 7am – 5pm at the moment.

The court will be opened by the caretaker and the net or netball hoops will be available as needed.
The gate and the net mechanism will be cleaned each morning but please do bring your own hand sanitiser to use as well.

The hut will not be accessible and please do not enter the court until the previous players have left.

Bookings will be 50mins long to make sure the court is vacated before the next players arrive and will start at 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11am, 12noon, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5pm the cost for each booking is £25 a very modest £1 increase from 2024.

The Court can be booked and paid for by using the booking form below.  Please make sure you click on the correct option for netball or tennis.

You are able to book multiple slots and pay for them all in one transaction just click on the “Book More” button after each slot is added to the Cart.

If you put 10 or more slots in your basket you will automatically receive a 10% discount of the final total.


Cancellation and exchange of a booking is possible up to 5 working days prior.  You can choose to either receive a refund (minus a transaction fee of 48p per session) or you can choose to receive a coupon code that allows you to book another session free of charge.

Once you are within five working days of the booking, there are no refunds and the booking is non transferable for any reason what so ever.

Please note there are no changing facilities or toilets available at the venue.

When you arrive please go in to the Church and go to the office at the back and the caretaker will come and open the court for you.

Please note if you need the floodlights please ask the caretaker they will allow you access to the hut where there is a meter that you will need £1 coins for.  Each £1 turns on the lights for 30mins

Any questions please email the Hall and Court Manager [email protected]


New Price for 2025

With the increased costs in managing the court we have had to increase the hourly charge for hiring the court this year but only by a very modest £1 per hour.  This is still below the pre Covid lockdown hourly charge. The 10% discount if you book 10 or more sessions is still in place.
