About The Padel Club Cheltenham
The Padel Club Cheltenham brings four indoor panoramic glass courts to Unit 11, Festival Trade Park, Off Wymans Lane, Kingsditch, Cheltenham GL51 9NQ. The site sits a short drive from the M5 (Junction 10) and roughly 10 minutes from Cheltenham Spa railway station, with free on-site parking and step-free access.
The Cheltenham padel club opened in August 2025 and is the newest venue in The Padel Club network, joining sister sites at Gloucester Quays, Wilmslow, Trafford City, Sutton Coldfield, Booths Park Knutsford, Sheffield, Liverpool Riverside, Wynyard Park and Royal Tunbridge Wells.
Inside the converted unit you will find a fully-stocked pro shop, a relaxed clubhouse serving coffee and cocktails, secure lockers, private changing rooms with showers and on-site WiFi. The space has become a hub for early-morning regulars, lunchtime corporate bookings and weekend social play across Gloucestershire.
The padel courts
Four indoor panoramic courts run the length of the building under a 10-metre roof, with full-height tempered glass at both ends and a soundproof curtain system between courts to keep play crisp. The panoramic walls keep sightlines clean for spectators and players waiting in the premium seating area.
Sports-grade LED lighting delivers consistent shadow-free play, and the high ceiling gives lobs and bandejas the airspace they need. Court spacing has been planned so adjacent matches do not interfere with each other, which is a noticeable upgrade over older box-style venues in the region.
Surfaces are top-tier monofilament turf with a fine silica sand fill, tuned for a medium-pace bounce that suits both beginners learning the basics and improvers stepping up to competitive league play. The turf is brushed regularly and the sand is topped up to keep the bounce predictable.

We had a fantastic experience hosting our charity fundraising event at The Padel Club Cheltenham. The staff were fantastic from start to finish and were incredibly helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly. The facilities are excellent, and the overall package offered by The Padel Club provided everything we needed to deliver a great experience for our participants. Hiring all four courts was a particular benefit for us, as it meant we could make the event completely exclusive to our guests. This created a brilliant atmosphere and made the event feel really special, while also allowing us to run the tournament in a way that was organised and easy to manage. We would highly recommend The Padel Club Cheltenham to anyone looking to host a corporate, charity or fundraising event. The combination of great facilities, a fantastic team and an excellent overall offering made it the perfect venue for our event.
I did a group booking hiring 3 courts through contacting the Padel club Cheltenham and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful - thank you Emily for helping me to organise! Pristine facilities for a good price and a good social environment on and off the courts!
