Padel Nova

Padel Nova is an indoor padel club at Unit G2, Rivermead Drive, Westlea, Swindon SN5 7EX. It has three indoor panoramic courts, free on-site parking, a heated social area with a bar and café, and court booking through the Nettla app.

Padel Nova opened in 2026 in Westlea, Swindon, and is run by club manager Dave Morris. The club is open every day from 6am to 11pm, so an early game before work and a late one after it both fit around a normal week.

The club also has a viewing mezzanine, darts, pool and table tennis, remote working spaces and free wifi. The building works as somewhere to spend an evening with friends, not just a place to play for an hour and leave.

The padel courts at Padel Nova

All three courts at Padel Nova are indoor and panoramic, with glass walls that give players a clear view of the ball and give spectators a good look at every rally. There are no outdoor courts, so play goes ahead whatever the weather is doing outside.

The fully indoor setting means the courts work in every season, and dark winter evenings, wet weekends and hot summer afternoons make no difference to a booking, which helps anyone trying to keep a regular weekly game going with the same group of friends.

Warm-up areas sit alongside the courts for stretching before a match. Changing facilities and showers mean players can come straight from work or head out for the evening afterwards without going home first.

Rackets are available to hire at the club, so newcomers and visitors can turn up and play without buying their own kit. Regular players who already own a racket can simply bring it along.

Booking and access

Courts at Padel Nova are booked through the Nettla app, which also handles booking for the club’s coaching and matchplay sessions. The club runs pay-and-play bookings with loyalty rewards alongside membership, so occasional players and regulars can each book in the way that suits them.

Padel Nova is open Monday to Sunday from 6am to 11pm. A standard game of padel is doubles for four players, so a group booking a court usually splits the cost between them, which keeps a regular game good value.

Getting there by car is simple, with free on-site parking at the club on Rivermead Drive in Westlea. For questions about bookings or membership, email the club at hello@padelnova.co.uk, visit the Padel Nova website or check the club’s Instagram page.

Programme and social

Coaching at Padel Nova is for all ages and abilities, with coaches Dave, Paddy Benson, Jack Bloomfield and Harry Bloomfield. Every Tuesday and Thursday the timetable includes Improvers Coaching, Intermediate Coaching, You 3 + Me Matchplay and Intermediate Coached Matchplay, all booked via Nettla.

For newcomers, intro to padel sessions run every Tuesday and Thursday, and the coaches run sessions for complete beginners. These sessions are the easiest way into the game for someone who has never picked up a padel racket before.

Off court, the heated social area with its bar and café is the centre of the club. Players can watch games from the viewing mezzanine, play darts, pool or table tennis between matches, or use the remote working spaces and free wifi while waiting for a court.
