The Pavilion is situated on Prestbury Memorial Playing Field and can be accessed through the Prestbury Road kissing gate entrances or the main entrance in New Barn Close.
The Prestbury Road Playing Field is a dedicated Memorial Field to all those men from Prestbury who died in the Second World War and was acquired by Prestbury Parish Council in June 1952.
It was not until 1962 that the Parish Council obtained the necessary bye-law and planning approval for the present Pavilion and the final plan was exhibited at the Women's Institute at the March Annual Assembly that year.
 
With grants both from the County Council and a Ministry of Housing loan, the Parish Council was able to proceed with the build.
The Pavilion was built by G.W.Ward & Son Limited and on Saturday 23rd May 1964 the Pavilion was officially opened by C.G.Clinton McIllquham. 
When new regulations came into force with regard to sports facilities and disability legislation changes were made to the Pavilion and an extension was built in 2004. 
In 2009 the Parish Council added an office/committee room and incorporated changes to the internal layout.
Today, the Pavilion offers three changing rooms, showers and two referee changing rooms in addition to its office space and main hall plus kitchen.
 
The Main Hall can be hired over the weekend and in the evenings by community groups.
Outside of the school term year, the Hall is also available for hire. 
Please note we cannot accept bookings for parties with music or events requiring a drinks/enterntainment licence.
