The Padel Inn

The Padel Inn is a dedicated indoor padel venue at Units 13-15, The Great Bridge Centre, Charles Street, West Bromwich B70 0BF. It sits on the doorstep of Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, with the city centre roughly fifteen minutes away by car.

The site is a short drive from junction 1 of the M5 and the A41 Black Country Route. Players coming in from Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall and central Birmingham can also pick up junctions 2 and 3 of the M5. Local rail links via Sandwell and Dudley station are within easy reach.

The venue was built specifically for padel, with no shared sports hall use and no competing bookings, so the courts run consistently through the day. Full details on programmes and corporate hire sit on the official The Padel Inn website, which is the source of truth for pricing and hours.

The padel courts

There are three full-size doubles padel courts on site, all indoor and laid with high-performance synthetic turf. The surface is designed for predictable bounce, secure footing and a softer landing than older sand-fill systems used in some older UK venues.

The hall is climate-controlled, so play stays comfortable through the British winter and on hotter summer days. The floodlit setup gives consistent light from early morning through to late evening, which matters in winter when most casual play happens after work.

The courts are listed on Playtomic as Padel 1, Padel 2 and Padel 3, with spectator seating along the side for friends, family or visiting teams. The fully-enclosed glass walls suit doubles play at every level, from first-timers through to LTA-rated club players.

Booking and access

Court hire is pay-and-play with no membership required, and slots are booked through the Playtomic app. Off-peak rates (weekdays before 5pm) are £50 per court for 60 minutes and £100 for 90 minutes. That works out at roughly £12.50 to £25 per player.

Peak rates (evenings and weekends) step up to £100 per court for 60 minutes and £150 for 90 minutes. To reserve a slot, book a court on Playtomic at playtomic.com/clubs/the-padel-inn, or call the venue on 0121 714 5543 for help.

Opening hours are Monday to Friday 06:00 to 23:00, Saturday 07:00 to 22:00 and Sunday 07:00 to 23:00. The venue website summarises this as 7am to 10pm daily. Cancellation and rebooking are managed in-app through Playtomic, in line with the platform’s standard policy.

On-site facilities include free parking on the Great Bridge Centre estate, lockers, WiFi, a vending machine and racket and ball hire. The building has step-free access, so the venue is wheelchair-friendly. The reception team is happy to walk first-time visitors through the format.

Programme and social padel

Beyond casual court hire, the venue runs structured activity through Playtomic Academy-style classes from around £15 to £20 per session. These are useful for newcomers wanting a guided introduction or improvers looking to build match patterns and positional habits.

For detailed coaching tiers and one-to-one rates, see the coaching tab on this listing or email hello@padel-inn.com. The team can also arrange junior and small-group sessions on request, with timings worked around school and after-work slots.

The Padel Inn hosts corporate events and private hire, with tailored packages that can include coaching, mini-tournaments, catering, branded signage and entertainment. Enquiries via hello@padel-inn.com typically receive a response within 24 hours.

Mix-in style social play is run through the Playtomic platform, which surfaces open matches at the appropriate level. New players in the West Midlands often use these to find regular partners and build a small social group around midweek and weekend slots.

Best for

The Padel Inn suits West Midlands players who want a reliable indoor base, predictable weather, generous opening hours and a simple pay-and-play model. It works well for groups of four splitting a court and weekday daytime players hunting genuine off-peak value.

Beginners coming in for structured Academy sessions are well served, as are businesses looking to run a team day or networking event around the courts. It is less suited to players who want clay or outdoor courts, an on-site restaurant or a members-only club atmosphere.

The Padel Inn runs Playtomic Academy-style group sessions for beginners and improvers, with private and group lessons available on request through the venue.
