One of the world’s fastest-growing sports is coming to the Sussex coast: Club Padel Shoreham is set to open as a new home for padel, fitness and community in Shoreham-by-Sea. Billed as far more than a place to play, the club promises six premium indoor courts, a stylish social space and a year-round programme designed to welcome everyone, from first-timers picking up a racket to seasoned regulars chasing a better game.
A new home for padel in Shoreham
The vision behind Club Padel Shoreham is a club in the fullest sense — somewhere players of all ages and abilities can improve, meet people and feel part of a community, rather than simply book a court and leave. It taps neatly into the energy around padel right now: a sport prized for being social, inclusive and easy to enjoy from the very first rally.
Six premium indoor courts, open all year
At the heart of the venue sit six premium indoor padel courts, built for play whatever the weather — a genuine plus on the South Coast, where an indoor offer means matches go ahead in January as readily as July. Overlooking the courts, a bar and social space is designed for players and spectators alike: somewhere to enjoy a post-match drink, catch up with friends, or watch the action from the sidelines.
More than a place to play
That social heart is the point. According to founder Alan McGuinness, the club has been built around the belief that sport should bring people together, with padel chosen for being one of the most social and accessible games around. The aim, he says, is a destination people genuinely want to spend time in — open and welcoming whether you’re a complete beginner or a committed competitor.
Beyond casual hits, the club says it will run coaching programmes, social sessions, leagues, events and competitive play, so there’s somewhere to go at every stage of a player’s padel journey.
Membership and ways to play
Club Padel Shoreham will offer four ways to get involved: Founder Membership, Gold Membership, Silver Membership and Pay & Play access. The flexible approach lets players choose their level of commitment — from becoming a regular part of the club community to simply booking a court when it suits. Founder Membership, the club notes, offers a chance to shape the venue’s early days, though it’s framed as one route in rather than the whole story.
Why padel is booming
If you’ve not yet tried it, padel is a racket sport played in doubles on an enclosed court, blending elements of tennis and squash — quick to learn, hard to put down, and built for playing with friends. Its rapid rise across the UK and internationally comes down to exactly the qualities the club is leaning into: it’s sociable, inclusive and competitive in equal measure, which makes a dedicated local venue a welcome addition to the Shoreham and wider Brighton & Hove sporting scene.
How to register for Club Padel Shoreham
Ahead of opening, residents, local businesses and the simply curious are invited to register their interest to be among the first to receive launch announcements, membership details and opening dates. You can sign up via the club’s website at clubpadel.co.uk. As the club puts it: “Padel is the reason, community is the point.”
We’ll be heading down once the doors open — a full review will follow. In the meantime, Club Padel Shoreham looks like one to watch for anyone after a new way to stay active and social close to home.
