Padel in the North West has grown rapidly over the past few years. What began with a handful of courts tucked inside tennis clubs has become a network of purpose-built hubs, golf-club courts, and leisure-centre additions across Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside, and the Wirral. The region now offers one of the widest mixes of playing environments in the UK — from large indoor venues to open-air courts surrounded by parkland.

‍

In Northwich, Destination Padel is one of the region’s largest sites, with eight indoor panoramic courts, LED lighting, and cushioned surfaces designed for consistent play. Facilities include a café, retail space, work hub, and social zone, all accessible through flexible pay-and-play options via Playtomic. The venue attracts players of all levels and remains one of the key focal points for padel in Cheshire.

‍

Across the county at Ignite Padel – Cheshire Oaks, five indoor courts sit alongside a modern clubhouse with café, changing rooms, and a pro shop. Coaching programmes and social sessions run daily, and booking is available through Playtomic. Parking is free on-site, and the location makes it a convenient choice for players travelling from Chester, Ellesmere Port, or the Wirral.

‍

In Wilmslow, The Padel Club provides a straightforward, relaxed setup with illuminated courts for early-morning or evening play. The atmosphere is informal, dog-friendly, and welcoming to new players. Courts are bookable online, and the venue regularly hosts introductory sessions and social mix-ins.

Outdoor play is equally well represented.

‍
At Padel Club @ Hartford Golf, four floodlit courts sit next to a lounge bar and outdoor cabin that serves as a post-match meeting spot. The club runs social and competitive sessions and provides free on-site parking.

Cheshire Padel operates two panoramic outdoor courts with long opening hours and an on-site café. It was one of the first dedicated padel venues in the region and offers pay-and-play access, coaching, and equipment hire. Nearby, Pure Padel – Alderley Park runs premium outdoor courts with spectator areas, full coaching availability, and well-maintained surroundings within the science park setting.

‍

In Lancashire, The Hook Club offers three outdoor panoramic courts alongside equipment rental, a pro shop, and a café. Its location and setup make it accessible for both league players and casual visitors. North of there, Soul Padel, based within Lancaster University’s sports complex, integrates padel into a multi-sport environment and caters to both students and the wider community through coaching and social sessions.

‍

At Hartford Tennis Club, a single glass-walled, floodlit court provides a high-quality playing surface within a traditional club environment. Facilities include a small bar and clubhouse with parking available on-site.

‍

Several health and fitness clubs across the region now include padel as part of broader memberships. CPASE Health Club in Cheshire has indoor courts within a wider wellness complex that includes gym and spa access. Hale Country Club & Spa combines padel with premium facilities, while David Lloyd – Cheshire Oaks and David Lloyd – Cheadle integrate padel into their existing racquets programmes, with professional coaching and member access.

‍

Venues such as Life Leisure Houldsworth Village and Padel 16 provide additional indoor options, with longer session times and high-quality playing surfaces. Across the region, most clubs use Playtomic for booking, though some operate their own systems. Pricing varies depending on court type and time of day, typically ranging between £5 and £22 per person per hour. Parking is available at nearly all locations, and most are within easy reach of major roads or public transport.

‍

Social spaces are common across the region’s venues. Destination Padel – Northwich and Ignite Padel – Cheshire Oaks both have cafés and areas designed for players to relax before or after games. At Padel Club @ Hartford Golf, the outdoor cabin and lounge bar form a natural gathering point, while The Hook Club and Soul Padel make good use of their on-site cafés and lounge areas to keep the community connected.

‍

The North West now represents one of the UK’s most developed padel regions, with options for every type of player — from purpose-built indoor arenas to outdoor courts in green surroundings. Whether you’re booking your first coaching session or joining regular leagues, you’ll find a range of venues that combine accessibility, facilities, and a growing social culture.
