Choosing a venue to stage a sporting event can be a challenge. The Rufus Centre can accommodate a wide variety of events from Boxing Nights in the Lockyer Suite to a 5 a side tournament in our fully enclosed field.
Our Central Bedfordshire location with excellent transport links by road and rail and ample free parking mean you and your guests will enjoy an evening to remember.
My colleague Martyn would like to pass his personal thanks to the CSA. He was appropriately friendly and went out of his way to ensure we had a successful event. Upon arrival one of our key guests was in need of a cup tea. Martyn spoke with the CSA, not only did he sort out a cup of tea for her but provided a biscuit too. In Martyn’s words, “Superb. Wouldn't it be great if everyone went that extra mile like the CSA at the Rufus Centre.”

I would just like to that our club presentation evening that took place last night in the Lockyer Suite went according to plan and was an exceptional evening. I have to mention that this is very much down to your excellent staff and the absolutely wonderful venue.
Your staff, both before the event as well as during the event, went out of their way to help us and accommodate us in every regard, they were exemplary.
