Information about the community playing and wildlife field
Sheldon Field is a community playing field and wildlife area, controlled by the Sheldon Field Management Committee, a charitable trust in the hands of an elected body of local people.
The late David Shaw was responsible for overseeing the acquisition of the field from the Oldfield family by The National Playing Fields Association, which became Fields in Trust, in 1999.
From very humble beginnings, there are now much-used football and cricket pitches and a practice net. There is a small pavilion with a covered seating area plus a kitchen and changing facilities. The Field also contains an interesting cricket score board with enclosed seating of some vintage.
The Field is available to hire for events and wedding receptions and holds a premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003.
Dogs are permitted on the Field but must be kept under control at all times. Commercial dog walking services must have licensed permission of the Sheldon Field Committee. Please clean up after your dogs and use the bins provided.
Golf and flying model aircraft or drones is not permitted.
