Padel 500

Padel 500 is a padel club at Atlantic Place, Whieldon Road, Stoke-on-Trent ST4 4HP, UK. It has four indoor panoramic doubles courts, all booked online through Playtomic, and it opened in 2026. Courts are open every day of the week from 6am.

The club gives players in Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire area a covered place to play all year round, and a booking here does not depend on the weather, which makes it an easy choice for regular weekly games and for groups who want a fixed slot they can rely on.

The padel courts

Padel 500 has 4 courts, and all 4 are indoor panoramic doubles courts. Panoramic courts use frameless glass walls with no posts breaking up the view, so players get a clean read of the ball off the glass and anyone watching gets an uninterrupted line of sight.

Playing indoors means the ball behaves the same in January as it does in July. There is no wind to push a lob long and no wet glass to kill a bounce. That consistency suits players who are working on wall play, defensive lobs and volleys, where outdoor conditions can change a rally.

Rackets and balls are available to hire, and the club also sells rackets and balls on site. A forgotten bag or a dead set of balls does not have to end a session before it starts, and newer players can try the game without buying kit first.

Padel court booking and access

Every court at Padel 500 is booked online through Playtomic. Players choose a court, a start time and a session of 60 or 90 minutes, then pay in the app. Prices are per court, so a group of four shares the cost between them.

Off-peak is the cheapest time to play. Off-peak, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm: £15 for 60 minutes, £20 for 90 minutes. Players with flexible weekday hours, shift workers and anyone free at lunchtime get the best value from this window.

Early, Monday to Friday 6am to 8am: £32 for 60 minutes, £46 for 90 minutes. Weekday late afternoon, Monday to Friday 4pm to 5pm: £32 for 60 minutes.

Peak, Monday to Friday 5pm to 11pm: from £44 for 60 minutes per court, which is £11 per player when four share the court, and £58 for 90 minutes. Evening slots suit groups who play after work.

Weekend, Saturday and Sunday 6am to 11pm: £32 for 60 minutes, £46 for 90 minutes. The same rate runs all day on both days, so a Sunday evening game costs the same as a Saturday morning one.

For questions the booking app cannot answer, such as group bookings, email the club at info@padel500.co.uk. Padel 500 also posts updates on its Instagram and Facebook pages.

Programme and social

The social side of Padel 500 centres on its café and breakout area, where drinks are available and players can sit down between games or catch up after a match. Wifi is available on site, which helps anyone waiting for a court or fitting a game around work.

There are showers and toilets on site, so players can head straight from the court back to the office or out for the evening. With racket and ball hire on hand as well, a group can turn up with nothing more than trainers and a water bottle.

Padel is played as doubles, so most bookings are for four players. Groups who play regularly often settle on the same weekly slot, and the off-peak weekday window makes a midweek daytime game the most affordable way to keep a regular four together.
