The Albion Academy

You won’t find a much better rugby pitch than the one at The Albion Academy in North West Manchester. The well-maintained 3G Astroturf pitch can be hired for training sessions, league games, and casual matches, whatever your ability.

You can play all forms of rugby at this venue, including rugby union, rugby league, tag rugby and touch rugby if you prefer the non-contact version of the sport. This means that no matter what your preferred style of play, your format is catered for. If you don’t have your own ball it is advisable to call the facility directly before you booking to ensure rugby balls are available to hire.

You’ll have no problem with evening starts at this venue as the facility is excellently floodlit. This is perfect if you’re looking to get in a session after work.

The venue offers free parking spaces for players who want to drive to their game. Please be aware though that these spaces do get filled up quickly during peak times so be sure to arrive as early as possible.

The facility operates on a pay as you play basis, meaning you can make a one-off booking without having to become a member. This is perfect for those who wish to turn up and play on a casual basis and avoid the commitment of paying a monthly membership fee.

Block booking is an option at The Albion Academy and is a great way to ensure a game every single week. This is perfect for any teams or individuals that are looking to book regular training sessions or use the venue as their home ground.

Availability does vary but the Playfinder team will do their very best to get you booked in at a time best suited to you or your team. The standard length of block booking is 10 weeks and payment is usually required in advance. However, this can sometimes vary depending on your specific requirements so please do get in touch if you would like to know more.

There are spacious and clean changing rooms available for sports players. These make it possible to get ready for your session on arrival and change after if anyone is heading straight into work afterwards – or out for a drink with teammates.

If you’d rather travel to the venue via public transport the nearest bus stop is Cromwell Road/Langley Road South. The short walk makes it easy to get to the facility without the worry of finding a parking space and acts as a gentle warm-up before your session.
