Indoor padel court Club de Padel is now open in Sheffield

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.

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.
