The Padel Shed Selby

The Padel Shed Selby brings four indoor panoramic padel courts to Flaxley Lodge Farm on Flaxley Road, Selby YO8 3RJ, a mile outside the town centre in North Yorkshire. The club describes itself as offering “indoor padel in a unique rural setting,” pairing covered courts with a relaxed social space on the working farm site.

The venue sits a short drive from Selby railway station and is reachable from York, Leeds, Doncaster and Hull via the A19 and A63. Live availability and contact details are listed on the venue’s Playtomic page, with venue updates shared on its Selby Facebook page.

Operated by The Padel Shed Club Ltd (Companies House 16340471, incorporated 25 March 2025), the Selby site complements the operator’s flagship Padel Shed in Huddersfield. It reflects a broader rollout of covered, all-weather padel into smaller Yorkshire towns rather than only big-city centres.

The four-court footprint, panoramic glass and rural setting make it a credible home base for casual players, social groups and visiting players who want a quiet alternative to bigger city venues. It also gives Selby and the surrounding villages a year-round indoor padel option without the drive into York, Leeds or Doncaster for a hit.

The padel courts

The Padel Shed Selby operates four indoor padel courts, all fitted to a panoramic specification with uninterrupted transparent glass walls for clear sightlines around the cage. Two of the four courts are configured for singles play and two for doubles, giving members an unusually flexible mix for a small Yorkshire club.

The courts sit under a permanent roof, so play continues through Yorkshire winters, heavy rain and damp mornings without interruption. Indoor LED lighting allows evening sessions right up to the 10pm close, and the rural setting keeps the courts free of urban wind and ambient noise from busy roads.

Booking and access for padel

Court bookings run through the Playtomic app, with live rates and slot availability showing at the booking step. The club is open Monday to Sunday from 06:00 to 22:00, giving early-bird players, lunchtime hitters and after-work groups a long window to find court time.

Parking is free and on site, and the venue is signposted from Flaxley Road. Players reaching the club by train can use Selby station, around two miles away, with taxis available at the rank. To book a slot, visit the venue’s Playtomic page for live rates and availability.

Programme and social padel

The Padel Shed Selby positions itself around social play and casual access, with Playtomic used for friendly matches and open bookings alongside straightforward court hire. The relaxed clubhouse-style social space is designed for players to linger after sessions for a drink, snack from the vending machine or a chat with regulars.

The wider Padel Shed operation runs leagues, mix-ins and beginner events out of its Huddersfield site, and the Selby club is expected to lean on the same playbook as it grows its membership. Updates on socials, events and any opening promotions appear on the Padel Shed Selby Facebook page.

Best for padel in Selby and North Yorkshire

The Padel Shed Selby suits social players, families and visiting players who want a covered all-weather court without driving into York or Leeds. The four-court footprint, free parking and 06:00 to 22:00 opening make it a natural choice for early morning hits, lunchtime singles and after-work doubles in a quiet rural setting.

It is less suited to players chasing a dense national tournament calendar or full-time performance coaching, since the venue is a small independent club rather than a regional academy. Anyone looking for a friendly, well-kept indoor padel club within easy reach of Selby, Sherburn-in-Elmet, Tadcaster, Goole and York should find it an easy fit.

Confirm live court availability and any opening promotions on the Playtomic page before travelling, and follow the Padel Shed Selby Facebook page for socials, mix-ins and any future coaching dates.
