The Padel Barn Leeming Bar

The Padel Barn Leeming Bar is a converted-barn padel venue at Unit 8, The Olive Grove, Leeming Bar, Northallerton DL7 9UL. The site sits in the Leeming Bar Industrial Estate, just off the A1(M) at Junction 51 and the A684, in North Yorkshire.

It is an easy drive from Bedale, Northallerton, Darlington, Ripon and Thirsk, drawing players from the wider Yorkshire Dales catchment. The venue is the sister site to The Padel Barn Sedgefield in County Durham, run by the same team.

The Leeming Bar facility gives North Yorkshire players a dedicated indoor padel home, blending rustic barn character with modern panoramic courts. Equipment is provided for newcomers, and live booking runs through Playtomic. Full info is on the Leeming Bar website.

The padel courts

The Padel Barn Leeming Bar has two indoor padel courts housed under the permanent roof of a converted agricultural barn. One is a standard doubles court for four-player matches, and the second is a singles court for one-on-one play, drills and faster-paced rallies.

Both courts are panoramic glass-back designs with LED lighting, so visibility stays consistent through the evening. Because the building is fully covered, the courts play the same in winter rain or summer heat - a genuine advantage in a county where outdoor sessions can be weather-dependent for much of the year.

The singles court is a useful point of difference for the area. Most clubs across North Yorkshire and the Tees Valley only offer doubles, so players looking to sharpen footwork, work on solo drills or play a quick one-on-one have a rare option here. Free racket hire and balls are included for first-timers.

Booking and access

All court bookings run through Playtomic. The live slot grid is the most accurate source for pricing and availability, with current rates shown at the booking step. Players pay-and-play by the hour through the Playtomic app or web booker, and the platform handles cancellations in line with its standard policy.

Phone bookings are available on 07703 593480 for group queries the app does not cover. The venue is open daily from 06:00 to 23:00 on Playtomic, with the wider business advertising 6am to 10pm seven days a week, so early-morning and late-evening slots are both supported.

The Olive Grove site has free private parking on the industrial estate, step-free entry to the courts and a changing room with WiFi for players working between sessions. Disabled access and equipment rental are listed amenities on the Playtomic page, making the site straightforward for casual visitors and accessibility-conscious bookings alike.

Padel programme and social

The Padel Barn Leeming Bar runs as a community-focused, pay-and-play facility. The main social rhythm is open court bookings through the day and evening, with the singles court particularly popular for friendly one-on-one challenges and the doubles court used for organised social games among groups of four.

The team works the Leeming Bar and Sedgefield sites as a small network across North Yorkshire and County Durham. Social fixtures, friendly tournaments and seasonal events are often shared across both barns, giving regulars at one site a wider calendar to dip into.

Beginners are welcomed openly, and the free racket and ball loan policy is designed to encourage groups to try padel for the first time. Coaching enquiries can be sent through the website contact form or by phone on 07703 593480.

Best for padel in Leeming Bar

The Padel Barn Leeming Bar suits players in the Northallerton, Bedale, Thirsk and Richmond corridor who want a weatherproof indoor court without driving down to Leeds or up to Newcastle. Doubles groups get a proper four-player court, while singles players, juniors and improvers value the dedicated solo court that few other clubs in the region offer.

The combination of free racket hire and 6am to 11pm daily slots makes it equally workable for early commuters, lunchtime players and after-work groups. It is less of a fit for players looking for a large multi-court tournament hub, an on-site cafe or a full racquets clubhouse.

The offer here is focused on quality courts, easy booking and friendly access rather than hospitality. Travellers connecting via the A1(M) or the A684 will find it one of the most accessible padel stops in North Yorkshire, sister-linked to The Padel Barn Sedgefield for anyone touring multiple venues in the region.
