The turf quality is good and awesome to play indoor cricket 🏏. Neatly maintained toilets. The football court is separated which allows the indoor cricket picks to have some heater turned on.

Absolutely Brilliant Laser Tag Experience at Willows Sports Centre, Derby! We booked a laser tag session at Willows Sports Centre in Derby for an adult group event, and it completely exceeded our expectations! From start to finish, the whole experience was incredibly well-organized, fun, and full of energy. The staff were fantastic – friendly, professional, and made sure everyone was comfortable and ready to dive into the action. The laser tag arena was impressive, with plenty of space, lighting that met the ambience, and the right level of challenge to keep things exciting. Whether you were in it to win or just having a laugh, everyone had a blast. What really made the day even better was the food and drink provided afterwards. Everything was fresh, tasty, and there was plenty to go around – a perfect way to refuel and relax after the games. It was a great touch that turned a fun session into a full-on social event. This was a top-notch experience that brought out everyone's competitive side while keeping the atmosphere light and enjoyable. Highly recommended for adult groups looking for something a bit different. We'll definitely be back!
