Court hire
Visitors can hire a court by the hour at £14, with floodlights on a £4 token after dusk. Check the live grid, then ring or ask below.
You do not have to join to play here. Courts that members have not taken can be hired by the hour, up to a week ahead, and the grid on the courts page shows what is free.
Hire is for up to four players on one court. You will get a gate code by text on the day. Please bring non-marking flat-soled shoes for the clay; we are polite about this, but not flexible.
Courts 1 and 2 have no floodlights, so hire stops at dusk on them. Courts 3 to 6 are lit until 10pm from a token meter in the veranda box. In November that means lights from about 4pm, which is why winter evenings get booked up first.
If you find you are hiring a court more than about thirteen times a year, adult membership has become the cheaper choice. We will tell you when you get close, because we would rather have you as a member.
What is included
- One court for up to four people

- Balls and rackets to borrow if you ask ahead
What it costs

Questions about court hire
Can I hire a court for a party?
Yes, up to all six on a Saturday evening in summer, with the bar. Ring us with a date.
What if it rains?
Clay closes in heavy rain. If we close your court we move you to a hard court or give you your money back.
Come and hit a ball before you pay for anything.
A free guest session on any Sunday morning or Wednesday club night. Borrow a racket from the pavilion, meet whoever is on the next court, and decide over a cup of tea.
