Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club is a multi sports facility and the go to place for amateur cricket, football, and rugby in East Lancashire, we are situated between Pendle and Burnley. Our Club works hard to be inclusive of all ages, abilities and sexes. It actively promotes a family environment for enjoyment of sports by participation and spectating.

Belvedere & Calder Vale Sports Club, situated at Holden Road, Reedley on the border of Burnley and Pendle, is a community based sports organisation. It was formed 63 years ago by the amalgamation of Calder Vale RUFC, (now Burnley RUFC); Burnley Belvedere Football Club and Burnley Belvedere Cricket Club.

In 1957 a small committee of businessmen who were sportsmen involved in the three sports raised funds to buy a 6-acre plot of land to build a clubhouse with changing rooms and pitches to provide amateur sport for the local community. A further purchase of land to accommodate an additional football pitch and rugby pitch, with extensions to the original building, was made in later years to enable it to become the Club as we know it today. It provides facilities for the three sports across many age groups, genders and ethnic groups in the boroughs of Burnley and Pendle. It also supports the local community by making available its clubhouse facilities and sports grounds for a variety of uses. These include the meeting venue for Pendleside Rotary Club and Burnley Soroptimists Club, a Polling Station and the site for various local health initiatives. An Annual Christmas Carol Concert is held when funds are raised for Pendleside Hospice & Pendle Youth Orchestra.

Its open space, with four sports pitches and a cricket square, are criss-crossed with public footpaths and a stretch of spring water-fed wetland which supports a wildlife environment. All this activity is provided by an army of volunteers who administer the running of the Club and the maintenance of its grounds and clubhouse. Calder Vale RUFC was formed in 1926 when they played their early fixtures at Fenny Fold in nearby Padiham. In order to align with other sports clubs in the area, it became Burnley RUFC in 2002.

Holden Road ­ just behind the Oaks hotel ­ is a 10­acre site which houses two rugby pitches, two football pitches anda cricket pitch. The first team rugby pitch is flood­lit to match standards. Both rugby and football have a thriving and growing junior section and each with a ladies team everyone is covered in age and ability.
