The Headley Pavilion
In 2026 Headley Parish Council completed a major project to improve the Pavilion and the Mill Lane Playing Fields. Much of the funding has come from the levy paid by developers in this and nearby parishes known as the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Section 106 agreements made between developers and local authorities. This has enabled us to provide three new Youth football pitches which were completed for the 2024/5 season. In addition, the Bowls Club and Tennis Club facilities have been upgraded with help from the clubs.
The upgrade to the Pavilion included:
- A new and more welcoming entrance area, with an extended balcony above
- Extending the Main Hall to enable enhanced sporting activities and community usage
- Additional storage capacity for sports club users
- Upgrading and extending changing rooms
- Total upgrade of all the public toilet areas
- Improved kitchen facilities and upgrade to the bar facilities to better serve sports club and community usage
- Improvement of water mains and drainage infrastructure to better serve sports pitches and changing areas
On Bank Holiday 4th May, we had a formal Opening Ceremony combined with the Here’s Headley show on the playing fields. See the News Page link for details and photos.
We are keen to see wider use of the building and facilities in addition to active sports – in fact this was a condition of the grant! Examples include coffee mornings, book club, mothers and toddlers group, club meetings, exercise, u3a etc. If you have ideas about how the Pavilion could be used or you are part of an organisation that could make use of the new facilities, please let us know on this link:
We will continue to apply for grants to cover additional facilities we would like to include later. As we make progress with the design and build of these new facilities we will be adding further news items to this website.
