– Welcome to The Fishbourne Centre –
A community centre open to everyone!
The Fishbourne Centre is open to all and looks out onto 17 acres of playing field including cricket and football pitches, tennis courts, a croquet lawn, a bowling green, a multi-sport court and a secure ‘accessible to all’ children’s play area. Outdoor gym equipment and the fields are a popular venue for local football clubs & dog-walkers.
The Fishbourne Centre and playing fields are owned and run by the Fishbourne Playing Field Association (FPFA) – Registered Charity No.: 305369. The FPFA relies entirely on donations, grants and any income made through events & hall hire in our lovely community centre. Any donations are gratefully received and go towards maintenance and new projects.
Our office is open weekdays between 9am and 2pm. Call us on 01243 788368 or pop in and see for yourself what we have to offer!

Meet the Manager!
Since September 2023 our new manager, Jon Allum, has been having a hugely positive impact at The Fishbourne Community Centre. His friendly & welcoming personality has been an inspired addition to the team, and the events and activities that take place in the Centre & on the Playing Fields are being run efficiently and enjoyed by all participants. Jon is also starting to re-introduce ‘in-house’ catering, which will be a wonderful benefit to the community at large as well as putting the Centre on the map as a ‘go to’ eatery in the future.
“I absolutely love working at the Fishbourne Centre, it is such an exciting charity to be a part of. We are keen to build on our relationship with the local community, develop our facilities and host more events. A common misperception among locals is that we are a ‘members only’ club, so I’m keen to spread the message that we are a Family and Dog friendly venue, open to all, 7 days a week! “
Unwind with Us
The Fishbourne Centre family bar is open to everyone! We have some excellent beers on tap, coffee machine, pool table & darts board and show all the live football and rugby events. We also have a lovely wraparound patio where you can enjoy beautiful views of the fields.
