The Turf @ St John's is a community facility run by St John's Primary School.

Between the hours of 9am and 4.30pm the Turf is often used by the school, however external bookings may be available for the pitch and the indoor hall & activity area. From 5pm to 9.30pm every weekday and all across the weekend a variety of sessions take place or the turf is available for private hire at extremely competitive prices

Our pitch is ideal for junior football training & 7 v 7 matches, and adult social games with friends or colleagues.

Founded in 2005 through a partnership between The FA and UEFA Hat-Trick delivers around 70 sessions each week to people in Newcastle upon Tyne and now in Gateshead.

We support the young people to reach their full potential by providing opportunities to participate in positive activities that offer training, qualifications & leadership. We work across the city of Newcastle and borough of Gateshead in areas of high deprivation, the top 10 percent of most deprived neighbourhoods  across the country. 

Northbourne are offering a range of activities for children and young people 8-19 years in the west end of Newcastle. We run our activities from an end terrace house on the Northbourne estate so you can't help but feel at home when you visit. The activities have been chosen by young people so hopefully there is something for everyone to enjoy, whilst priority is given to those who already attend our sessions we welcome new members where spaces are available.
Please contact Northbourne for exact times as they are varied across the summer period.
