PRENTON RUFC COMMUNITY HUB
More than just a rugby club. A place for everyone.
Prenton Rugby Union Football Club is a traditional grassroots club with a modern purpose: to use sport and community to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing local people — including loneliness, mental health, isolation and inactivity.
As local facilities have disappeared over the years, Prenton RUFC has stepped in to help fill the gap — opening its doors wider than ever and creating a welcoming space where residents, community groups, charities and local businesses can meet, run activities and feel connected.

Prenton Dell Claypit – A Nature Gem Behind the Hub
The Prenton Dell Claypit is a former brick and tile works site that has been transformed into a flourishing community nature reserve right behind the Prenton RUFC Community Hub. Originally industrial land, the claypit sat unused for years — during which time it naturally rewilded into a rare habitat rich in biodiversity thanks to its clay-based ground.
Now, thanks to a 10-year partnership between Prenton RUFC, National Grid and local conservation groups, the claypit has become a fully accessible nature trail and green space for everyone to enjoy.
Key features:
🌿 Open year-round — the Prenton Dell Nature Trail is open 365 days a year for walkers, families, schools and local groups.
🐦 Rich habitats — the woodland and restored ponds support a wide variety of birds, butterflies and species such as great crested newts.
🛤️ Improved access — volunteers and conservation partners have installed gravel paths and raised walkways to make the trail safe and easy to explore, even in wet ground.
🪵 Educational signs and seating — benches and seasonal interpretation help visitors learn about the wildlife and plants that make the claypit special.
