John invites the sports community to discover Hazelwood Centre, the home of London Irish, tucked away in the charming riverside village of Lower Sunbury, in Sunbury-on-Thames. Spread across 63 acres, this modern facility offers versatile spaces suited for a variety of events.
The venue features a bar, open to the public from 6pm on weekdays and from 9am on weekends, although private bookings may alter these hours. Being the base for the renowned rugby club, London Irish, it’s a great spot for sports enthusiasts. The sports bar and complex make it an ideal destination for sports lovers.
Hazelwood Centre caters to numerous events, from weddings and wakes to corporate parties and pitch hires. Two function rooms provide stunning views of the grounds and are perfect for wedding receptions, birthday and anniversary parties, award ceremonies, and Christmas nights. The venue can host up to 180 guests for formal dining or 250 for a buffet-style event. The resident chef is well-regarded for preparing fresh, delicious food, ensuring a memorable dining experience.
Beyond events, Hazelwood Centre offers expansive, secluded landscaped grounds with pitches and green areas. These outdoor spaces are suitable for sports hire, film production, community activities, and team building exercises.
Accessibility is a priority, with all facilities on the ground level and accessible toilets available in the clubhouse. However, dogs are not permitted on the premises.
Getting to Hazelwood Centre is straightforward, whether by car or train. By car, take junction 12 on the M25, join the M3 towards Richmond/Central London, follow Green Street into Lower Sunbury village for about a mile, and turn right onto Hazelwood Drive. There’s free on-site parking available. Alternatively, trains from London Waterloo to Sunbury run every half hour, taking around 45 minutes. From Sunbury station, it’s a mile walk along Green Street and then a right turn onto Hazelwood Drive.
John, along with his friendly and experienced team, ensures that every event at Hazelwood Centre is a success, providing guests with a memorable experience, whether it's a wedding, a corporate party, a sports event, or a community gathering.
