Membership

Membership of The Welsh Padel Centre is available on an annual or quarterly basis. Annual membership costs £80 per year (may be paid by monthly installment of £7 pcm - total payable £84 per year - £4 more than a one-off payment), while Quarterly membership costs £30 for 90 days. You must register on the booking system (opens in a new tab) first and can then purchase membership.

Couples membership (two adults at the same address) costs £120 per year (may be paid by monthly installment of £10 pcm) or £45 for 90 days. All members must be registered on the booking system (opens in a new tab) before membership is purchased.

Please note:

  • If you wish to pay by monthly subscription, please read the document 'Paying Monthly' on the Acebook system prior to paying. Documents are located by clicking on the notification bell on the upper right.
  • When you pay for a new membership via the Acebook booking system, (i) you need to log out and log in again to activate the membership before you can book a court, and (ii) we will send you a 6 digit code for access to the main gate. This is a manual process and therefore will not be instant. Please allow up to 24 hours to receive this code - longer in holiday periods.
  • We are unable to offer family or child membership. The facility is designed to be entirely automated and, as such, does not have staff present. Children under secondary school age are not permitted to play without direct adult supervision unless it is part of an organised group session specifically organised for children. Children of secondary school age may play without direct adult supervision, but the courts must be booked by a responsible adult who takes full responsibility for the children's behaviour and actions. There are currently no guest fees so, as long as the supervising/responsible adult is a member, there is no additional charge (over and above the court fee) for children to play. We do have children's loan rackets (free of charge) for children from the age of ~5 years.
  • Membership gives you booking rights (i.e. you can book a court), access to certain social sessions, and the occassional discount on certain events, sessions and merchandise - it does not provide free access to the courts which are 'pay to play'. Please see our membership Terms and Conditions available via the documents section of the booking system (see link above and below). The documents section is accessed by selecting the notification ‘bell’ in the top right hand corner and ‘Docs’ from the submenu.
