Glass Padel Club

Glass Padel Club is an indoor padel venue at Unit 1, Stalybridge Industrial Park, 7 Stanley Street, Stalybridge SK15 1SS, in the Tameside borough of Greater Manchester.

The site sits just off the A635 and A6018, around ten minutes from Junction 23 of the M60 and a short walk from Stalybridge train station. That makes it well placed for players travelling from Ashton-under-Lyne, Mossley, Hyde and east Manchester.

The club opened on Saturday 28 March 2026 with a launch party featuring food, drinks and a DJ set, and was reported by Tameside Reporter as a fresh addition to Tameside’s leisure scene. Glass Padel Club focuses on accessible, pay-and-play padel for newcomers and improvers, alongside a structured academy programme and a small calendar of leagues and tournaments.

You can find live court availability and prices on the venue’s Playtomic page, and follow announcements through their Instagram and Facebook profiles.

The padel courts

Glass Padel Club has two indoor, double, panoramic courts. The panoramic format uses full-glass back walls without the usual steel mesh corners, giving cleaner sightlines for players and a much better view for anyone watching from the side. Both courts share the same warehouse-style indoor hall, so play is unaffected by Greater Manchester weather throughout the year.

The courts are floodlit with overhead lighting suitable for evening play right through to the midnight closing slot. Racket hire is available at reception for anyone trying padel for the first time, and the venue is set up for doubles play, which is the standard format used in matches and academy sessions.

Booking and access at Glass Padel Club

All court bookings are handled through Playtomic. You can book a court at Glass Padel Club via the app or website, where live rates and remaining slots are shown at the booking step. Standard slots run 60 or 90 minutes, with pay-and-play pricing visible in Playtomic for both peak and off-peak times.

The venue is open every day from 06:00 to 00:00, which is one of the longest operating windows of any padel club in Greater Manchester. Free on-site parking is available within Stalybridge Industrial Park, and the building has step-free access with disabled facilities.

A cafeteria with hot drinks and light food is on site, and free WiFi runs throughout the venue, so it works well for a casual coffee between sessions as well as a serious evening match.

For general enquiries the best route is a direct message via the club’s Instagram or Facebook page, or the contact form inside the Playtomic listing.

Padel programme and social play

Glass Padel runs a regular academy programme aimed at every standard, from complete beginners through to intermediate players. Sessions include Intro to Padel from £9.50 per player and themed 60-minute classes covering topics such as defensive volleys and the overhead, priced from £10 per player. Academy bookings sit alongside court bookings inside Playtomic.

On the competitive side the club hosts mix-ins, social events and graded tournaments, with entry fees from £14 to £16 per event for ratings spanning roughly 0 to 7. Multi-week formats such as the Glass Padel Beginners League and Intermediate League cost from £320 per team, giving improvers a structured run of matches rather than a single one-off event.

Group sizes are kept manageable so the coaching tab on this page covers private and small-group lesson detail in more depth.

Best for padel in Stalybridge

Glass Padel Club is a strong fit for Tameside residents, east Manchester commuters and visiting players who want a tidy indoor venue with panoramic courts and very late opening hours. The pay-and-play model on Playtomic, the structured academy and the affordable league entry make it well suited to newcomers, improvers and small social groups.

It is less suited to players hunting a large multi-court tournament centre, full gym or spa facilities, since the focus here is squarely on indoor doubles padel with a relaxed cafeteria and free parking rather than wider leisure amenities. For two-hour evening sessions, weekend academy mornings and league play within Greater Manchester, it is a welcome new option.
