Basketball
Our sports halls offer excellent facilities for Basketball, whether you’re organising a competitive match, a training session, or a casual game with friends.

The hall can be configured for full-court, half-court, or cross court basketball, giving you the flexibility to book the space that best suits the size of your group or style of play.
A full court is perfect for organised games and team training, while half and cross court provide great options for smaller groups, skill practice, or informal shoot-arounds. This flexible setup makes the sports hall a great place for players of all abilities to enjoy basketball in a welcoming community environment.
All bookings are made in 55-minute slots starting at 5 minutes past the hour. This ensures you have plenty of time on court while allowing staff a short 5-minute preparation window at the start of each session to reset and prepare the space for your group.
If you’re planning regular bookings (such as a weekly club session), you may be able to arrange block booking discounts by contacting the centre directly.
1. Online through the Burnley Leisure & Culture booking system
You can book courts and sports hall time slots via the centre’s website using the Leisure Hub / booking platform — bookings are available to reserve online up to 7 days in advance.
2. By phone
Call the centre reception on 01282 953444 to make a booking over the phone – this can be useful if you want help checking availability or arranging a block booking (regular sessions).
3. In person at reception
You can walk in and book directly at the leisure centre reception desk, subject to current availability on the system.
Yes – block bookings are available for the sports hall at St Peter’s Leisure Centre. You can secure a regular slot for your group or activity by requesting a block booking, which is typically paid by Direct Debit or quarterly invoice. This is ideal for clubs, teams or groups who want guaranteed hall time rather than booking individual 55‑minute slots each week.
Parking is free for 3 hours for users of the centre.
