Council grass pitches
- Booking: email footballbookings@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk.
- Fees per match: seniors £55 for the pitch only or £74 with changing rooms; youth 29.50 or £43; juniors 9.30 or £16; mini pitches free.
- Casual hire: the grass pitches are run around league fixtures, so casual one-off hire is unlikely.
(18 sites, including Bear Field Cowbridge, Buttrills Field Barry, Cogan Recreation Ground Penarth and Windmill Lane Llantwit Major):
Good to know
- Whitmore and Pencoedtre: the council lists them for football and rugby training only, with no contact rugby.
- Jenner Park: this is Barry Town United's ground, so slots work around fixtures.
