Blazing Padels

Blazing Padels is Norfolk’s first dedicated padel club, set inside a beautifully converted cow shed at Salle Moor Farm, Wood Dalling Road, Reepham, Norwich NR10 4SB. The venue sits about twenty minutes north of Norwich city centre via the A1067 and A140 corridor.

Opened in September 2024 by founder Alex Nagshineh in partnership with heritage racket brand Dunlop, the club brings two premium indoor padel courts, an interior-designed clubhouse and the Persian-inspired Herbies Cafe together on one picturesque farm estate.

The conversion keeps the agricultural character of the original cattle shed while wrapping it around a year-round, all-weather padel facility. Visit blazingpadels.com for the latest schedule, or drop in to combine a session with brunch, coffee or a glass of something from the lounge bar.

The padel courts

Blazing Padels runs two indoor doubles courts laid with artificial grass over a sprung sub-base, fully enclosed by glass back walls and steel mesh sides. The wood-clad shed gives the courts a generous roof height and a warm, naturally lit feel, with LED lighting throughout for evening sessions.

Being fully indoor means play continues whatever Norfolk’s weather is doing - useful in a county that picks up wind off the North Sea. Rackets and balls are available to hire at reception, so visitors and first-timers can turn up empty-handed and still play a proper match.

Booking and access

Court hire starts from £40 per court per hour, which works out at £10 per person for a standard four-player game. Live rates, off-peak slots and 90-minute options show at the booking step on the venue’s online system.

Book a court on Matchi or use the booking link on the Blazing Padels website. The venue also runs a Padel Mates app option for court and group training bookings, available via the homepage.

Courts are bookable seven days a week from 07:00 to 22:30, with Herbies Cafe open daily from 09:30 to 16:00. Members get priority booking windows and reduced rates; applications are handled through the website. Free parking is available on the farm estate, with step-free access into the clubhouse and courts.

For group enquiries, private hire, corporate days or membership questions, phone the clubhouse on 01603 327054, email info@blazingpadels.com, or message the coaching team via Instagram. Block bookings for clubs and societies can be arranged outside peak slots, and the team can split larger groups across both courts.

Programme and social padel

The club’s weekly schedule mixes free Intro to Padel sessions on Wednesdays and Saturdays with paid group classes at £18 per 90-minute session. Regular fixtures include Ladies’ coffee and padel mornings, plus Train and Play evenings split across level 3-4 and level 4-5 brackets.

Social mix-ins, in-house leagues and one-off tournaments run alongside the coaching block. Blazing Padels has reported more than 2,500 newcomers through its doors in its first year, with a pro shop on site for rackets, grips and balls.

Coaching is delivered in-house by Head Coach Scott Jenkins, a former semi-professional player in Spain with 15 years of coaching experience. Detailed tiers and prices live under the coaching tab.

Best for padel in Reepham and the wider Norwich area

Blazing Padels suits players who want a year-round indoor venue with character and a proper social hub attached, rather than a stripped-back court block. The Herbies Cafe, lounge and terrace make it an easy place to bring non-playing partners or to linger after a match.

It is less suited to players hunting for cheap pay-and-play courts in central Norwich or anyone needing outdoor courts. Reepham is a short drive from Aylsham, Holt and the A140, and the farm setting means a calm, rural arrival rather than a city-centre dash.

Visitors planning a day out can combine padel with brunch at Herbies, a walk around the farm grounds and a browse of the on-site shop, making it as much a weekend destination as a place to play a match.

Coaching at Blazing Padels is delivered in-house by Head Coach Scott Jenkins, who has 15 years of experience as a coach and semi-professional player in Spain. The programme covers free intro sessions, ladies' coffee and padel mornings, level-based Train and Play evenings and private lessons on request.
