Good
questions.
New to padel, or new to PADELISH? Here's everything people ask us.
I've never played padel. Can I just turn up?
Absolutely — padel is the easiest racket sport to pick up, and most of our players are beginners. Once we open, book a court on Playtomic, hire a racket from the pro shop, and you'll be rallying within minutes. Beginner sessions with coaches run every week too.
How do I book a court?
We are not open just yet — join the VIP list on the home page and you will get priority booking before the public — plus your first booking free. Once we open, all bookings will run through the Playtomic app: live availability, pick a slot, pay in seconds. No membership needed.
Do I need my own racket and balls?
No. You can hire rackets at the pro shop (free for Club and Elite members), and balls are available on site. Just bring sports clothes and trainers.
What should I wear?
Normal sportswear — shorts or leggings and a t-shirt. For shoes, any clean indoor trainers work; padel-specific or tennis shoes give the best grip on the turf.
How many people play, and how long is a match?
Padel is played 2 v 2 on an enclosed glass court. Court slots are typically 60 or 90 minutes — most first-timers book an hour.
How much does it cost?
Full court pricing will be published at opening — join the VIP list on the home page and prices will land in your inbox first. Court hire is per court (split between four players), with cheaper off-peak rates, and members will save on every booking.
Do I have to be a member to play?
No — anyone can book. Membership is optional and simply adds lower prices, priority booking windows and perks like free racket hire. See the membership page.
What are your opening hours?
Every single day from 6 in the morning until 1 after midnight (6 AM – 1 AM), 365 days a year. Early sessions before work, late games after dinner.
Is there parking?
Yes — free on-site parking for everyone, right outside the doors. The exact address will be announced to the VIP list first.
Can I find people to play with?
Yes — Playtomic has open matches where you join players at your level, and our social mixers are made exactly for this. You'll never be short of a fourth player at PADELISH.
Can I hire courts for a party or company event?
Yes — from one court to the whole club, with optional cafe & catering packages. See events or email hello@padelish.co.uk.
What's your cancellation policy?
Bookings can be cancelled through Playtomic in line with the cancellation window shown at checkout. Membership can be cancelled any time with 30 days' notice.
