Pitch Perfect Bloor Homes Scores Early with Tewkesbury Football Club delivery.
Delivery of the brand-new football pitches is the first part of a wider initiative benefitting the Club at Bloor Homes’ Tewkesbury Meadow development. The new homes builder is also building a new Sports Pavilion (over 570 square metres) to include changing facilities, a community hall, meeting room and catering facilities for club and wider public use, plus a dedicated car park, due to launch in Autumn 2026.
The project is being delivered in collaboration with Tewkesbury Colts FC, Sports England, Gloucestershire County Council, Tewkesbury Borough Council and other local stakeholders.
Just over two and a half acres at the new development are dedicated to the Club’s new ‘game changing’ facilities, which will benefit the home side and visiting teams as well as other community groups. The scheme is part of 18 acres of formal and informal public open space planned for Tewkesbury Meadow.
Paul Moseley, Vice Chair & Project Lead at Tewkesbury Colts FC, said: “The news that the work on the football pitches has started ahead of schedule is fantastic. The new pitches and facilities are going to make such a difference to our Club, not only from a playing and training point of view, but socially too, and now we know that the pitches will be ready sooner than planned, this is great news for everyone.”
The team of volunteers running Tewkesbury Football Club, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this coming season (2025/2026), will be fundraising over the summer to ‘kit out’ the new Sports Pavillion, from fixtures and fittings to cutlery and crockery. Fundraising is via the Club’s Sponsor a Brick scheme where anyone wishing to have their name on a brick can pay to do so; the proceeds benefitting everyone using the Club facilities.
Steve Roberts, Managing Director for Bloor Homes’ Western region, said: “Work on the football pitches is well under way ahead of schedule, demonstrating our commitment to prioritising and delivering these important community sports facilities. Meanwhile, we are also working hard to ensure the new Sports Pavillion is build complete for autumn 2026.”
