Booking questions.
The things people ask before they book. If your question is not here, send it with your booking request.
Where is Bloomfields?
Bloomfields is on Quinton Road, Needham Market, Suffolk, IP6 8DA — about eight miles north-west of Ipswich and four miles south of Stowmarket, just off the A14. There is free on-site parking.
How much does it cost to hire the 3G pitch?
The full-size floodlit 3G pitch is £75 per hour. Pay & play slots run on weekday evenings between 5pm and 10pm. Block bookings for clubs and leagues are quoted separately — ask when you request a slot.
What else can I hire at Bloomfields?
The hospitality suite is £180 per session, the clubhouse £250 per session and the meeting room £35 per hour. All three are used for parties, wakes, christenings, training days and community meetings as well as matchday hospitality.
Is the pitch floodlit, and can I book in winter?
Yes. The 3G surface is fully floodlit and plays all year round in almost any weather, which is why evening slots through the winter are the most popular ones.
How does booking and payment work?
Requests are made through the form on this page. The club confirms your slot by email and invoices you directly — there is no card payment on the site. You will get a confirmation before the booking is held.
Why is a slot I want showing as unavailable?
Matchdays, first-team and Reserves training, and Academy sessions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 5pm and 9pm in term time all take priority. Holiday-week availability opens fortnightly.
