Chapel Gate, based near ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ International Airport, houses a wide range of sporting facilities and fields for sports such as football, rugby, cricket, hockey and squash. The site is managed by ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ Community Business Ltd (¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµCB) which has been set up to ensure community and university activities continue to thrive.
The university has been a user of the site for a number of years, with university clubs and teams training and playing on the site. The purchase of the site in 2019 by ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ from ¶¹ÄÌÊÓÆµ and District Recreational Charity (BDRC) enables the university to create deeper links with the community and further develop a sports community around the area, as well as providing a continuing space for staff and students to use.
