First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this facility - I used to play here! Once or twice anyway. Our teams would rent this facility out just for a treat. It was expensive but it was where England trained and that made it very exciting for us. This is back when they were actually good, after the 1990 World Cup. And then later after Euro 96.

The old Abbey is available for hire for weddings and business events. The rumour is that the great hall is actually haunted... I would have given it 4 stars but the wifi was very poor and in the day and age we live in that it was poor
