New Padel Clubs UK: November 2026
Three new padel clubs are due to open in the north of England this month, in Blackpool, Rossendale and Dewsbury. Meanwhile, down south, Pure Padel has approval for six indoor courts in Coulsdon, with an opening expected in early December.
That said, opening dates often slip by a week or two, so check with the club before you travel. Once each one is open, you will find it in our UK padel court finder.
| Club | Where | Courts | Status (5 Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Village Hotel Blackpool | Blackpool | 5 (3 roofed outdoor, 2 outdoor) | Opening 6 November |
| Pinks Padel and Social | Crawshawbooth, Rossendale | 3 indoor | Opening 21 November, per Playtomic |
| Padel8 | Dewsbury | 6 indoor | Opening this month, no day yet |
| Pure Padel Croydon | Coulsdon, Croydon | 6 indoor | Approved, opening expected early December |
Village Hotel Blackpool
First up, the Village Hotel on East Park Drive (FY3 8LL) says its padel courts open on 6 November. Its Playtomic page lists five panoramic doubles courts. Of those, three are under a roof and two are fully outdoor. As a result, you can still play on the Fylde coast when it rains in winter. Bookings are through Playtomic. In addition, Village members can add padel to their membership for extra booking days and court discounts.

Pinks Padel and Social, Crawshawbooth
Pinks is turning the old Bold Venture Works steel site on Stoneholme Road (BB4 8BA) into three indoor panoramic courts. For now, its Playtomic page gives an opening date of 21 November, with court bookings from 7 November. However, the club’s own website only says November 2026. Rossendale Council approved the plans, so the main hurdle is cleared.

Padel8, Dewsbury
Padel8 is also due to open this month at Unit 600, Bretton Park Way (WF12 9BS), though no day has been named yet. When it opens, it will have six indoor courts plus a private two player court for coaching and practice. Besides the courts, there is a café called Serv on site. After that, a recovery and wellness centre will follow in a second phase.

Kit for indoor courts
- Indoor courts are quicker, and a lighter racket helps. Raquex is a UK brand worth a look, and our code PADELREVIEW gets you 10% off at Padel Boost.
Pure Padel Croydon, Coulsdon
Croydon Council granted permission on 11 September (reference 25/04046/FUL) for six indoor courts in a former warehouse at 399 Brighton Road (CR5 3EA). However, it is not open yet. Before it can open, the council still has to sign off a delivery and servicing plan, and Pure Padel needs a highways agreement with TfL. Also, the permission is temporary and lasts seven years. Once open, courts will be pay and play through Playtomic, with no membership fee. Even so, Pure Padel expects to open in early December.

New Padel Clubs UK: October 2026
Square One Padel, Chartham near Canterbury
Square One Padel has won approval for a new club in Chartham, just off the A28 outside Canterbury. It is due to open in 2027. Square One already runs clubs in Ashford, Sittingbourne and Maidstone, and work has started on another in New Romney, so Chartham will be its fifth site in Kent.

Smash Padel, Bathampton near Bath
Smash Padel has planning permission for five courts at the old railway station in Bathampton, on the edge of Bath. Work is about to start, but Smash Padel has not announced an opening date yet. For reference, Smash Padel already runs clubs in Brighton and Oxford, among others.
We list it as opening soon on our South West padel courts page. Source: Bath Voice.
Mumbles Seafront, Swansea
Swansea Council has applied for planning permission for three padel courts on the old tennis courts on Mumbles Road, between the Oyster House and the bowls club. The application still has to go before the council’s planning committee. Also, nobody has said yet who would run them.

Tarka Leisure Centre, Barnstaple
Councillors have approved North Devon’s first public padel courts, at Tarka Leisure Centre in Barnstaple. As soon as the operator confirms the number of courts and an opening date, we will add them to the directory. Source: North Devon Gazette.
Still to Come
Hanworth and Isleworth, Hounslow
Hounslow Council has approved £950,000 to build six padel courts, with three at Hanworth Leisure Centre and three at Isleworth Leisure Centre. Each site will lose two of its four tennis courts to make room. Lampton Leisure will run them, and the council expects them to open in spring or summer 2027. Source: Hounslow Council.
White Rock Gardens, Hastings
Hundreds of people tried padel at a pop up at White Rock Gardens this summer, run by Freedom Leisure and booked through Playtomic. As a result, Hastings Borough Council has bid to the LTA for funding to build permanent courts. We will update this page when the decision is announced. In the meantime, our Sussex padel courts page has the nearest clubs. Source: Hastings Borough Council.
