First Look inside Chester’s Finest Padel Club.

First Look inside Chester’s Finest Padel Club.

One of the UK’s premium & first padel operators, The Padel Club are giving a sneak peek to their latest venue, Chester which will open this year.

Following the successes of their Trafford City – the largest purpose built courts in the North of UK – the Gloucester Quays, Cheltenham, and Wilmslow venues, Chester is another step forwards for the club who have put Padel on the map.

The Padel Club Chester will bring its unique brand experience & padel knowledge to the city. The new venue, located at Sealand Road industrial estate will feature;

  • 10 competition padel courts in total (7 indoor double courts, 1 singles court, 2 outdoor courts)
  • Large run-out spaces so you’re not space restricted and competition lighting
  • Ample social spaces throughout
  • 10m ceiling heights
  • Social sports activities in the clubhouse
  • Comfortable seating areas with sofas
  • Plenty of car parking spaces

“We were one of the first operators in the sector in the UK. We know what makes a great club experience and we have developed this with the most important people to mind – our customers,” said Kris Ball, CEO of The Padel Club.

“Chester Padel Club will bring our knowledge, experience and understanding of not only both the culture of the game but also the culture of the city. After all Chester is a place that means everything to me—I live here, my family is here, and I’ve formed lifelong friendships. Bringing The Padel Club here is incredibly special because it’s not just about the sport; it’s about creating a space where people connect, compete, and belong.”

The Padel Club, founded in 2022, has rapidly gained recognition for its welcoming approach to sport. Following successful venues in Wilmslow, Gloucester and the Trafford City location—the largest purpose-built padel facility in the North—the Chester site marks the latest step in their growing journey.

“Culture is a key feature of the The Padel Club experience” said Kris Ball. “We know that the game has taken off in the UK and we have had a helping hand in that experience. Our knowledge isn’t just about having incredible courts, it’s about the social experience around it too.”

“The Padel Club Chester will bring with it large social spaces as part of our clubhouse experience. This allows players – who often arrive as strangers – to leave as friends. It’s what Padel should be about, great time on the court and off it too.”

“Chester has always had an incredible community spirit, and it’s a place that thrives on bringing people together. With The Padel Club, we’re building on that spirit and introducing a sport that is fun, inclusive, and for everyone,” said Kris.
