Venue and Facility Hire at Huddersfield RUFC, Lockwood Park

Updated

Huddersfield Rugby Union Football Club offers three hire options at its Lockwood Park ground: The Waterloo Suite for events and functions, 3G pitch hire for matches and training, and office rentals for business use. To enquire or book, use the "Book the Venue" or "Facilities Hire" pages on huddersfieldrugby.com, or contact the club office directly at [email protected] or 07842409064. The office is open 9.30am to 2.30pm, Monday to Friday, and the ground is at Brewery Drive, Lockwood Park, Huddersfield, HD4 6EN.

The Three Hire Options

Hire option Suited to Where to start
The Waterloo Suite Events and functions such as sponsor lunches, pre-match lunches and celebrations "Book the Venue" or "Facilities Hire" page
3G pitch hire Matches and training on an all-weather surface "Facilities Hire" page
Office rentals Business use on the club site "Facilities Hire" page or direct contact

The club's events calendar shows the kind of functions the venue hosts — for example, a Sponsors Day Lunch and Game Day for Huddersfield v Wharfedale on 7 November, a Pre-Match Lunch and Game Day for Huddersfield v Otley on 21 November, and a fixture against Preston Grasshoppers on 12 December. These give a practical sense of how the Waterloo Suite is used on match days.

How to Enquire

  1. Go to huddersfieldrugby.com and open the "Book the Venue" or "Facilities Hire" section from the main menu.
  2. Review the option that matches your need — suite, pitch or office.
  3. Contact the club with your date, expected numbers and purpose, using [email protected] or 07842409064. If you call, aim for the 9.30am–2.30pm weekday office window.
  4. Confirm availability and terms with the club before finalising plans.

Expected result: a direct reply from the club office confirming whether your preferred facility and date are available and what the next steps are.

Common Pitfalls

  • Assuming prices are published. The site does not list hire rates, so ask for a quote rather than budgeting from the website.
  • Leaving it late for match-day dates. Fixtures and club events already occupy parts of the calendar (see the Events and Fixtures sections), so check your date against those first.
  • Using the wrong contact route. The general manager's email and phone number above are the contact details shown on the site; the office hours are limited, so email may get a faster response outside them.

For a broader view of the club, see what the Huddersfield RUFC website covers; if you are also interested in playing rather than hiring, the club's membership and get-involved routes are separate from facility hire.
