We are fortunate to have a 7 acre open green space about 1 mile from Thame and close to the Sustrans Phoenix Trail, enabling a wide variety of users in the local area to benefit from the use of new and improved facilities.
We are building a new community pavilion, which allows us to re-imagine, re-engineer, re-purpose, and ultimately re-open the Towersey Playing Fields, to provide much needed replacement sporting facilities and social spaces for the surrounding growing communities in the Thame area. Our aim is for this entire facility to be financially and ecologically self sustainable To achieve this goal we need to raise £1.25m.
To provide a sustainable space for the whole community that has wellbeing at its heart.
Our aim is to offer modern facilities on an inclusive basis to new and existing sporting and social entities.
Facilities will include ample parking, 2 full sized sports pitches with training areas, shower and changing facilities for home and away teams and match officials along with post match bar and catering facilities. In addition, there will be an event space and meeting room to accommodate many other community, private and business needs. We anticipate having a coffee shop with indoor and outdoor serveries, catering for sporting events and the many families that frequent the children’s play area.
Towersey Playing Fields Committee, (TPFC), is a registered Charity, number 1054125. TPFC has a 148 year lease from Towersey Parish Council, (TPC).
TPFC is a committee of volunteers charged with managing and maintaining the grounds and facilities. As part of this responsibility, we are championing this next phase of development to replace the existing condemned building, and meet with the growing demand for indoor and outdoor facilities.
We find ourselves in a perfect storm, caught between deteriorating facilities and population growth increasing the demand for such facilities.
Without the proposed facilities we run the risk of the playing fields becoming financially unsustainable and losing a valuable sporting and social asset.
Our aim is to offer modern first rate facilities on an inclusive basis to new and existing sporting and social entities.
Benefits to the community upon completion are:
TPFC has undertaken a multitude of fundraising events, raising a total of £259k so far. £36 k has been spent on improving the children’s play area, £48k on the new storage facility , completed in August 2024, and £28k on the Pavilion project so far.
Following the previously mentioned expenditure, we currently have a pot of £147k set aside for the Pavilion project.
TPFC's main fundraising event is the Towersey Fringe, an event that has run for the last 10 years. A comedy and music festival held annually for the wider community, attracting over 5,000 people, www.towerseyfringe.co.uk. In addition we run a host of local fundraising activities throughout the year.
