The Padel Hangar

The Padel Hangar is a rural Cheshire padel venue at Twin Acres, Hulme Hall Lane, Allostock, Knutsford WA16 9JN. It sits around ten minutes from M6 Junction 18 and a short drive from Knutsford town centre and Holmes Chapel.

The site opened in late 2025 (The Padel Hangar Ltd was incorporated in August 2025) and quickly built a loyal local following. The setup is deliberately simple and player-first - three panoramic courts, generous free parking right beside the courts, free racket hire for newcomers, and a community feel that draws players from across Cheshire West and Chester.

Full venue details live on the official site at thepadelhangar.com, with all bookings flowing through the Playtomic platform.

The padel courts

The Padel Hangar has three full-size doubles courts, all panoramic glass-back design. Two sit indoors under a permanent covered structure with overhead LED lighting, allowing year-round all-weather play through the wet Cheshire winters. The third court is outdoors and runs alongside the indoor pair.

The indoor courts are named after the venue’s local supporters - Court 1 (Wainwright Stump Removal) and Court 2 (Andy Burgess Chainsaw Sculptor). The names give a sense of the rural, community-rooted character of the place. The outdoor court (Outdoors 1) is exposed to the elements but adds welcome capacity at peak times.

Surface across all three courts appears to be standard synthetic turf with silica infill, dressed to Spanish specification, and refreshed regularly to keep ball bounce consistent.

Booking and access

All court bookings run through Playtomic. You can book a court at The Padel Hangar on Playtomic in the app or via the web. Live rates show at the booking step and typically sit in the £25 to £40 per court per hour band depending on time of day.

Peak evening slots are at the upper end and weekday daytime slots at the lower end. That works out at roughly £6 to £10 per person for a doubles game. Standard slots are 60 or 90 minutes, with academy and social classes from £15 per player.

The venue is open seven days a week from 07:00 to 21:00, so early-morning sessions before work and late evening games are both well covered. Cancellation, refund and no-show terms are handled in the Playtomic app at the point of booking.

For anything off-platform, phone 07774 799935 or email info@thepadelhangar.com. Parking is free and right next to the courts, and changing rooms with WCs are on site.

Padel programme and social

Alongside open court bookings the venue runs a steady programme of Americanos, intermediate matchplay socials and mixed-level drop-ins. Academy and class sessions are advertised on Playtomic from £15 per player.

These sessions are the easiest entry point for visitors who do not yet have a regular four and want guaranteed court time with players at a similar level. They also work well for newer players who want to build confidence before stepping into open bookings.

The Padel Hangar runs coaching through visiting and freelance coaches - block-booked group clinics, junior taster sessions and one-to-one lessons can all be arranged through the venue. See the coaching tab for current tiers and pricing, or email info@thepadelhangar.com. Follow @thepadelhangar on Instagram for the latest event announcements.

Best for padel in Knutsford and rural Cheshire

The Padel Hangar suits players in Knutsford, Holmes Chapel, Northwich, Macclesfield and the surrounding villages who want a friendly, no-frills venue with proper covered courts and easy parking. The combination of free racket hire, three courts and a relaxed rural setting makes it a strong first stop.

It is less suited to players looking for a full clubhouse experience with a cafe, bar, restaurant, gym or spa - those facilities are not currently on site. The venue is focused purely on accessible, well-priced padel rather than wider club amenities.

If you want a quick, focused hit of padel close to the M6 in the Cheshire countryside, with a single outdoor court for sunny days and two reliable indoor courts for everything else, it is a strong pick for regulars and newcomers alike.
