The Padel Club Gloucester Quays

The Padel Club Gloucester Quays is the brand’s flagship venue, set inside the Peel Centre retail park at St Ann Way, Gloucester GL1 5SF. The club opened in 2024 on a reported £1 million build.

It hosted the inaugural UK Padel Convention in November 2025 and the 2026 edition returns to the same site. Junction 12 of the M5 is roughly ten minutes by car, with Gloucester rail station less than two miles north for visitors from Bristol or Cheltenham.

The venue sits inside the broader Gloucester Quays leisure scheme, near restaurants, the designer outlet and the historic docks. That makes it a practical choice for groups combining a session with dinner or drinks. Full venue details are on the official Padel Club Gloucester Quays page.

The padel courts

The Padel Club Gloucester Quays runs nine indoor padel courts under sports LED lighting, all housed in a purpose-built hall that is open year round regardless of weather. The operator describes the surfaces as top-tier padel turf.

The layout pairs standard courts with three specialist Game Cam courts at numbers four, six and eight, plus a dedicated screen court at number one for fixtures, finals and academy work.

Game Cam allows players to review rallies on the booking app afterwards, which is useful for coaching feedback or sharing clips. The screen court can show live match feeds and is used for the venue’s own leagues, intro nights and the UK Padel Convention demonstrations. Racket and ball hire is available at reception, so visitors can turn up without kit.

Booking and access

Court bookings open eighteen days in advance and run entirely through Playtomic. You can book a court on Playtomic directly from a phone.

Standard padel courts are listed at £42 per hour peak and £28 off peak, which works out at roughly £10.50 per player at peak across a doubles game and £7 per player off peak. The screen court is £44 peak and £32 off peak; the Game Cam courts are charged at the standard tier.

Peak windows run weekday evenings from 16:00 to closing plus all day at weekends. Off peak covers weekday mornings and afternoons. Opening hours are 06:00 to 23:00 Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 22:00 Saturday, and 07:00 to 23:00 Sunday.

Reception can be reached on 01452 491004 or by email at info@thepadelclub.co.uk for group enquiries, cancellations and corporate days.

Parking is free for up to four hours in the adjoining Peel Centre car park, which sits a short walk from the main entrance. The clubhouse has private restrooms, showers and on-site lockers, and the venue is dog friendly which is unusual for an indoor sports facility.

Padel programme and social

The social programme is run by head coach Jason Poole alongside general manager Hannah Thomas, with a calendar of weekly mixers, internal leagues and drop-in intro sessions for newcomers. The club also acts as the regional hub for Gloucestershire Tennis events, hosting the launch of the county’s PadelAbility inclusive programme backed by the Gloucestershire Disability Fund.

Junior and adult coaching is delivered through The Padel Club’s own academy framework, with tiers and pricing on the coaching tab below. The venue has also hosted LTA National Junior Performance camps and partnered with Forest Green Rovers on a community padel programme.

The clubhouse cafe and bar serves coffee through the day and switches to cocktails in the evening, with seating arranged to overlook the show court.

Best for

The Padel Club Gloucester Quays is best for South West and West Midlands players who want a large indoor venue with proper hospitality, video review on selected courts and an active social calendar.

It is a natural choice for corporate days, league nights and convention-scale events. It is one of the few padel clubs in England with a dedicated screen court for fixtures.

It will appeal less to players hunting for outdoor courts or budget pay-and-play rates outside the off peak window, since all nine courts are indoors and peak pricing reflects the build quality and event programme. Walk-in availability at peak is rare on Friday and Saturday evenings, so book ahead or target weekday daytime slots if flexibility matters more than timing.
