Wold Padel

Wold Padel sits on Highfield Farm, Southburn Road, Driffield YO25 9AF, occupying a converted barn just outside Southburn in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The club brings accessible all-weather padel to a rural pocket of East Yorkshire.

It draws players from Driffield, Beverley, Bridlington, and the wider Yorkshire coast. The barn houses two covered courts, plenty of free on-site parking right by the entrance, and toilets a short walk from the playing area.

Booking runs through Playtomic, and the venue website at woldpadel.co.uk carries up-to-date pricing, opening hours, and team contact details for the club and resident coach Paul Layfield. The what3words address ///bulky.charmingly.export is helpful for first-time visitors driving along Southburn Road.

The padel courts

The converted barn at Wold Padel shelters two indoor padel courts: a standard doubles court (20m by 10m) and a smaller singles court. Both feature glass back walls and artificial turf surfaces typical of modern UK padel installations, with the layout suited to the barn’s original footprint.

Indoor cover removes the wind, rain, and short winter daylight that often disrupt outdoor play in East Yorkshire. The courts deliver consistent conditions across the year, regardless of the Wolds weather sitting outside.

LED lighting allows comfortable play from 6am through to late evening, and the relatively warm interior means a tracksuit is rarely needed mid-rally. With only two courts on site, peak weekend slots fill quickly during league nights and at popular early-morning weekday windows.

Booking and access

All padel court reservations at Wold Padel run through the Playtomic platform. Download the free Playtomic app for iOS or Android, create an account, then search for “Wold Padel” or “Padel Courts Driffield” to find the venue.

Doubles court rates at Wold Padel range from around £20 per hour off-peak to £40 per hour at peak times. The singles court costs roughly £15 to £25 per hour. Check the live Playtomic listing before booking for the current rates.

After payment, you receive a pincode by email to unlock the barn door, and a wall button next to each court activates the lighting. The venue opens Monday to Sunday, 6am to 11pm, with no membership required for pay-and-play bookings.

Programme and social play

Wold Padel runs a regular padel league for members of varying levels, with the inaugural league completed in early 2026. Follow-on rounds and singles ladders are advertised through the club’s Instagram and Facebook channels, alongside themed evenings.

Open matches via Playtomic let solo players join doubles slots at Wold Padel without arranging a partner in advance, and the smaller singles court suits one-on-one practice, partner sparring, or focused skills work for committed improvers.

The club hosts holiday sessions for school-aged players during half-term breaks and runs themed evenings to grow the local padel community across Driffield, Beverley, and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire.
