Carbon Padel Club

Carbon Padel Club is an indoor padel club at Unit 9, Vaughan Street Industrial Estate, Vaughan St, West Gorton, Manchester M12 5BT, UK. The club has 17 indoor courts, 12 doubles and five singles, all booked on Playtomic, with doubles from £36 for 60 minutes off-peak.

The club opened in 2025. Free on-site parking, changing rooms with showers, a café and racket hire mean you can arrive with nothing but trainers and still play a full session.

The courts at Carbon Padel Club

Eight doubles courts, Court 3 to Court 10, are panoramic. The four crystal courts are the JD Carbon Court and Premium Courts 1 to 3, and they carry the premium price. The five singles courts are panoramic too, which suits two players who want a faster, more physical game.

Every court is indoors with indoor lighting and a Mondo turf surface, so wind and rain never cut a session short. That makes the club a dependable choice through a Manchester winter, and the late slots keep courts available well after work.

Racket hire comes in three grades, Basic, Premium and Demo, so a first timer and a player testing new kit are both covered. Wifi runs through the club and the toilet facilities are fully accessible.
