Beith Astro
Beith Astro is no normal sports facility, it is a community-owned and led organisation in the heart of Beith town. After years of neglect, Beith Astro had become derelict and rundown until finally clubs, groups and teams rallied together to discuss the lack of suitable facilities in the town. Soon an alliance was formed, which published a report based on the feasibility of community ownership of the sporting facilities in Beith. Based upon this report Beith Community Development Trust was formed to enable the redevelopment of Beith Astro.
Fast forward 5 years and you will find a state-of-the-art, third-generation football training pitch, accompanied by 6 modern changing pavilions. However, the Astro is much more than just its football pitch; it is also home to many family, community and children’s activities and events. With a fully functional kitchen, a polytunnel with fresh, homegrown vegetables and fruit, an art hut and a firepit; the opportunities are endless.
What’s on at Beith Astro
On Tuesdays and Fridays, we run Nature Play activities from 9:30am – 1pm; allowing families to come along and enjoy what nature has to offer.

We also frequently run art activities and seasonal events such as easter camps, summer camps, and Christmas and Halloween parties.
A new home for football
Beith Astro is also home to a revolutionary synthetic training surface and offers the closest resemblance to real grass possible. Consisting of a grass-like 50mm pile surface that is filled with recycled rubber granules, making friction burns a thing of the past. The 11-a-side pitch can be split into three 7-a-side pitches for training and small-sided games. Our hiring policy and cost breakdown are below:
