About this group

Welcoming everyone from beginners to intermediates, sessions run multiple times a week with a focus on mixed doubles where players swap around each game making it perfect to join even if you are attending by yourself. Because spaces are limited based on court availability and sessions regularly sell out days in advance, all spots must be booked ahead of time via the website, as no walk-ins can be accepted.

When

  • Wednesday 8pm until 9pm and Sunday midday until 2pm, both limited to 18 players
  • Thursday 8pm until 9pm, limited to 14 players
  • First and third Monday, 7pm until 8pm

Who this group is for
