Open Day Sunday 14th June 2026

Come along and try tennis for free! There are sessions to suit all ages and abilities – if you are new to the game racquets will be available for you to use. Our coaches will be on hand to give you tips together with club members who can tell you more about our friendly club.

Morning sessions from 11am to 1pm will focus on families, with free play and the chance to take part in a mini tournament.

During the afternoon adults will have the opportunity to play,  get some tips on tactics and join in a doubles tournament.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day – we look forward to seeing you!
