The world’s fastest-growing sport is making its way to Sheffield city centre, with a state-of-the-art indoor padel club now open for business.
Club de Padel, which started life in Manchester in 2023 and has been booked out solidly ever since, will be bouncing its way across the Peak District to Kelham Island.
There'll be five indoor competition-grade courts, open from 7am until 10pm every day, as well as a coffee bar and a club shop (which will be selling the exclusive Club de Padel x UN:IK collection).
Club de Padel is housed within Capital&Centric's Cannon Brewery warehouse, a Neepsend landmark that will be transformed into a diverse neighbourhood of new homes, green community spaces, bars, cafes and workspace.
New to padel? All good - there's a full coaching programme featuring 'intro to padel' sessions, club socials, tournaments and private coaching for groups of up to four.
And throughout September, Club de Padel are teaming up with some friends to celebrate throughout September, kicking off by hosting the inaugural ‘Lick of Paint’ Street Art Festival.

Brainchild of Megan ‘Peachzz’ Russell and Alastair Flindall (aka Neck of the Wood Studio), the festival will use the exterior walls of the building on Boyland Street to showcase emerging and established talent across the weekend of 6-7 September.
Then there'll be a one-day festival on 20 September, in partnership with 84 John St and Fix Up Running, with a huge group workout, guided city runs, padel taster sessions, and yoga.
Matt McKinlay, co-Founder of Club de Padel said: "We can’t wait to open our Cannon Brewery site - it’s been a real labour of love and it’s looking brilliant now. From the moment we stepped into the space we knew it had something special and Neepsend has this urban, creative energy that really fits with what we’re about.
"We’re here to create a unique and inclusive club that adds to all the exciting stuff that’s already going on in the city - everyone we’ve spoken to so far has been so welcoming and supportive and we can’t wait to get the doors open."
Tom Wilmot, Joint Managing Director at Capital&Centric, said: "Breathing new life into the old Cannon Brewery site has been a big focus for us, and Club de Padel are the perfect match to bring it back with a bang.
"They’ve got real energy and ambition, and they’ve created something that feels properly fresh for Sheffield in collaboration with some of the city’s creative and wellness communities. We’re buzzing to see it come alive this September."
Bookings for Club de Padel Sheffield will go live on Playtomic on Thursday 4 September with the first court playing on Thursday 11 September.
You'll find it at Boyland Street, Kelham Island - the What Three Words location is ///press.arts.active.
Courts will be priced at £36 per hour during off-peak hours, and £44 per hour at peak times, with balls included in every booking and free parking on site.
Bring Me The Horizon have sent British rock fans into bedlam by booking a special anniversary gig celebrating 20 years since their debut album, Count Your Blessings, and we’re lucky enough that it’s coming to Manchester.
And that’s not the only massive announcement they’ve dropped along with it.
It seems hard to believe it’s been two whole decades since the Northern favourites first burst onto the scene with their first LP, and the Yorkshire heavyweights have come a long way since, both sonically and career-wise in general.
Teaming up with Outbreak ahead of their 2026 festival, they teased the show with a series of posters dotted around Manchester city centre last week.
Yes, the band are set to perform their maiden studio outing, along with a few bonus tracks, in its entirety for the first time EVER.

played in full, for the first time ever [manchester 10th july 2026] + other bangers.
It remains unclear whether they’ll be playing it in the original order, nor do we know how many big hits from other albums they’ll be throwing into the set.
All we know is that it’s going to be absolute chaos in those pits.
Presented by Outbreak, the landmark show will be held at the Bowlers Exhibition Centre, a.k.a. the BEC Arena, where the hardcore, punk and all things alternative festival is hosted every year.
Even the poster alone is making us feel nostalgic for our ‘mosher’ phase (as if it ever ended); get your fringes, skinny jeans and checkerboard Vans at the ready.
One of the biggest names to have ever come out of Sheffield – an impressive feat in itself given its rich musical heritage – they’ve done wonders for heavier genres domestically.
Whether you dub them emo, metal, deathcore/anything and everything in between, you can’t deny they’re one of the biggest UK exports this scene has ever, well, seen.
Better still, the all-day event will also feature performances by Static Dress, Rolo Tomassi, Dying Wish, Heriot, Car Underwater and Still In Love.
Last but not least, in arguably even more exciting news, the band have also revealed that they are releasing a full re-recorded version of Count Your Blessings to mark the milestone, dubbing it the ‘Repented‘ version. Not to exaggerate, but we’re absolutely screaming over here…
Fans get their hands on early access by pre-ordering the remastered album from a special old-school, very Myspace-esque landing page; as for general admission, tickets go on sale at 10am this Friday, 17 April – you can get ready to grab yours HERE.
