About this venue
The Sir Ben Ainslie Sports Centre's eight-court multi-use sports hall is within Truro School's senior campus in Truro. It can be booked for individual court activities, regular club use, one-off events and large-scale events. Activities include badminton, five-a-side football, basketball, netball, indoor hockey, trampolining, table tennis, pickleball, indoor tennis and cricket; spectators can watch from a balcony. Truro School Enterprises lists the hall for sporting events, conferences, exhibitions, trade fairs and markets, consumer shows, roadshows, corporate events and community events, and reports large-event capacity as just over 1,000 people without a layout-specific seated or standing maximum. The wider centre also has a fitness suite, squash courts, changing rooms and toilets; its 25-metre pool is in a separate building. Individual sports bookings welcome members and non-members, with one-off court booking online up to seven days ahead. Contact Truro School Enterprises for large-event hire enquiries.
