      )

Pickleball was invented in Washington state (USA) in 1965 and has gained popularity especially in the last decade leading it to become the fastest growing sport in the US. It’s especially popular among 55+ age group and retirees in part because of the social and health benefits. It’s also relatively easy to get started, you really just need a good pair of pickleball shoes and a pickleball paddle.

The biggest challenge might be finding a place to play. While there are pickleball courts in almost every major US city, it might be a little tougher to find a court near you in the UK. However, in recent years Pickleball has become more and more popular on this side of the Atlantic with many clubs and courts popping up around the UK.

To help out, we’ve scoured the Internet and put together a map of all the places we could find in the UK to play. We update the map often and if you find any courts that we do not have listed here, please let us know so we can add it.

Below you’ll find an interactive map and list of places to play Pickleball along with contact details and playing hours whenever possible.  If you know of any other places to play Pickleball in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland please leave your comment at the bottom of the post so we can update our list.

    • Hello Ruth, we are keen to try pickleball with a viewing to joining regular activity, having heard a report on our local radio this morning (Shropshire) about SpArC at Bishops Castle who I understand run sessions (when Covid 19 restrictions permit).

  2. Hi:

    Thanks so much for putting together this website — It’s great! I live and play pickleball in North Dakota, but as a Brit, I come back to GB periodically. Your website will be very helpful to me and I will explore new places to play this summer, 2019!
    I have family in the Reading area, as well as Maidenhead (Berks), and Minehead (Somerset). I’d love to help get a club up and running in Minehead, my sister’s hometown. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

  4. Hello,
    Many thanks for this site.
    Have just discovered Pickleball and am keen to find out where we could go in North London when we move there. Seems to be none!
    Are you able to keep me informed if any starts? Near East Finchley?! I’d be really grateful.

    Many thanks!
    Lisa

  6. I will be travelling over to the UK this coming summer. As a player of Pickleball here in Toronto, Canada , I’ve grown to love the game . I belong to a church group that play every week. My question is, is there a Pickleball group or club in or near Talke Pits in Staffordshire.? I see that in my travels there’s one in Glasgow north and in Belfast . I’m sure I will be in contact with them when I’m over there.

  7. Dennis, we have a new club in South Somerset, that we call the Giraffe House Pickleball Club. If you happen to be travelling in the West Country, you would be very welcome to come over for some games. Our details are on the PicklballEngland and the Oxon Pickleball web sites. We have about forty members and currently play on Tuesdays (most of the day and evening) and on Thursday afternoon/evenings. Have fun, Peter Snart-Smith ( Chairman)

  9. I saw a comment asking for pickleball close to Chelmsford. I am not sure if Mary received any responses as it was nearly a year ago. We can see that there is one in Halstead but that is quite a way from us as we are nearer to Southend. If anyone knows of a club we would be interested in joining. We have just learnt how the game is played whilst we have been in the USA so are kean to carry on.

    • Hi Cathie,

      I have just taken pickleball up this year and have been looking to play more regularly – so far I have travelled to a few groups out of area . I came across this old post this morning and wondered if you are still playing/interested in setting a group up in South Yorkshire? I’m based in Doncaster. Alison

        Also, please are you able to update the Google Map at the top for Tadworth Leisure Centre as the session times and contact is no longer accurate.

  28. I have had a thriving Pickleball group in Taunton for some time, so not sure why I am not on the list. We play every Saturday from 1pm at Blackbrook Sports Centre, Taunton for 3 hours (4 courts) and Tuesdays at 6pm at Wellsprings (1 hour with 2 courts). Can my group be added please. We have had plenty of interest from the local press, and you can check my group out in the Somerset County Gazette. Thankyou
