How we ranked Newcastle padel clubs
Every club below has a Padeli listing, and every number on this page comes from that listing: courts, indoor or outdoor, published price, opening hours and the booking link. We rank for a Newcastle player, so distance from the city, year-round indoor play and pay-and-play access count most. We do not accept payment from venues.
Clubs people search for that are not yet in the directory, such as Pikup Padel in Gateshead, are covered in their own section but not ranked, because we have not verified their details.

Honourable mentions
The Padel House is a members-only boutique club in Newcastle built on a founding-members model. It is not yet in our directory, so we have not verified its courts or prices; check membership availability with the club directly.
Northumbria Tennis and Padel in Jesmond and David Lloyd Newcastle are also mentioned by local players. Neither has a Padeli listing yet, so we leave them out of the ranking.
Further south in County Durham, PadelPriv in Peterlee has 3 indoor courts bookable on Playtomic. It is outside Tyneside, so we list it here rather than in the ranking.
Padel Court Club Newcastle has also opened, at Quorum Business Park in North Newcastle, with five outdoor courts (four under a canopy) bookable on Playtomic. It is new enough that we have not yet ranked it alongside the five clubs above.
Where to play padel in Newcastle and Gosforth
Inside the city, padel is a two-club story. Project Padel Newcastle in Benton is open now and books on Playtomic from £45. Pure Padel Gosforth, a few minutes west at Gosforth Business Park, is the club to watch for padel in Gosforth once it opens. Until then, North Newcastle players book Benton or drive to Gateshead.
Padel in Gateshead: Padel Up - Tyneside and Pikup Padel Gateshead
Padel Up - Tyneside at Metro Riverside Park is the Gateshead club we have verified, bookable on Playtomic from £20 per hour off-peak. Powerleague Gateshead also opened in 2026, with five covered outdoor courts at its Ropery Road site, bookable on Playtomic from £30 per hour off-peak.
Pikup Padel Gateshead
Pikup Padel is the name most people search for in Gateshead. Its venue at Follingsby Park is not yet in the Padeli directory, so we have not verified its courts, prices or opening hours and we do not rank it here. Check the operator’s own site before you travel, and we will add it once it has a listing.
Pickup Padel or Pikup Padel?
They are the same club. The brand is spelled Pikup Padel, and searches for Pickup Padel and Pik Up Padel refer to the same Gateshead venue.
