About TownFarm Padel
TownFarm Padel sits at TownFarm on Old St Hill, Bishop’s Stortford, opened 2024 with three outdoor panoramic courts serving the Hertfordshire and Essex border catchment.
Free parking on site, floodlit evening play, and the rural setting puts it inside reach for players from Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth and Stansted who otherwise would drive into north London. Pay-and-play through Playtomic alongside member-friendly access.
The courts
Three outdoor panoramic courts on synthetic grass at the TownFarm site. Floodlit through evening play. Open-top, weather-dependent. Opened 2024.
Booking and access
Court hire £30 to £50 an hour through Playtomic. Pay-and-play, with member rates available. Floodlit evening play through to closing. Free on-site parking. Closest stations: Bishop’s Stortford (rail) around a 5-minute drive, with Stansted Airport nearby for visitors playing during travel layovers.
Programme and social
The rural farm setting brings a different vibe to the urban competition: quieter weekend pace, broader sightlines and a community-feel atmosphere. Beginner intros, group lessons and 1-on-1 sessions through the TownFarm in-house coaching team. Group bookings, parties and corporate events handled directly through the venue.
Best for
Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Stansted and the wider Hertfordshire-Essex border who want outdoor padel on a rural site without driving into north London, plus visitors playing during layovers via Stansted. Less suited to anyone reliant on public transport into central London.

Great courts, fairly priced and great customer service. Was a bit hard to find on first visit but no issues thereafter!
Too much sand on the court making it very slippery
