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.
Peddler’s 13th year marks a bold new direction for the free monthly event.
Peddler Market began its life 12 years ago as a street food night market with a sprinkling of live music and DJs.
Now that they're synonymous with bringing some of the best street food the UK has to offer to Sheffield, the organisers are now heading in a new direction.
Peddler will now offer a five-stage monthly music festival, spread across their Kelham Island footprint - maintaining its ‘free entry’ ethos for customers.

But don't worry, food will still be a key component all whilst increasing their to platform some of the best local promoters, record shops, DJs and bands across Sheffield.
But now, they're bringing five stages to Peddler, working with some of the best up and coming and well established promoters in and across the city.
“Twelve years ago, we filled a gap that Sheffield really needed,” Jordan Roberts - owner, says. “Since then, it’s nourished this huge gastronomic change within the city. Now there’s food halls and street food everywhere, which is great because people have choice – at peddler amazing street food is a given but now you can expect much more”

"I wanted to create a labyrinth of exploration like that you find at a proper festival, tread the zones, sample the delights and find your vibe. It’s like a little mini festival,” Jordan says.
“With Tramlines and We Out Here being huge inspiration for the next gen development. There’s a car park stage, the inside main stage, a courtyard stage, the factory floor and activities happening in the basement underneath too,” Jordan explains. “Bands, DJs, the whole thing.”

“We’ve always been a street food event with two music stages,” he explains. “Now we’re excited to bring five stages, working with some of the best up and coming and well established promoters in and across the city. After more than 100 Peddler Markets where we’ve always hosted a free entry gig.
"We’ll still host our street food partners, who love seeing all the Sheffield foodies. However, the changing music line up will help you ‘save the date’ making each month even more unmissable”
The first edition of the reformatted Peddler lands on the usual first Friday and Saturday of the month on 5-6 June and promises a sprawling, multi-space experience inspired as much by classic city festivals as warehouse parties and independent culture.
Plans have been revealed for ‘Sheffield’s smallest cinema’, plus record shop and gallery space
Clementine Hall
Sheffield based curator and archivist Alex Wilson is taking over a refurbished Victorian unit down the historic Chapel Walk.
The space will be transformed into a record shop, gallery space and micro cinema dubbed 'Sheffield's Smallest Cinema'.
The space will be rooted in, and be a champion of, Sheffield/Yorkshire/Northern cultural heritage; focusing specifically on sound, moving image, design and photography.
Titled 'Memory Dance', the opening exhibition, WE'LL MISS THEM WHEN THEY'RE GONE, will reboot a popular display held on The Moor, Sheffield back in 2012.

The exhibition will explore the history of record shops in the city, from Bradleys to Virgins, and includes original 78 RPM sleeves, old and new record shop bags, related ephemera from lost Sheffield vinyl retailers, alongside prints by designer Simon Robinson responding to the imagery of these old sleeves.
They're also asking the Sheffield community to come down with anything relating to the history of Sheffield record shops and if suitable, Memory Dance can scan the items on site and hand back a digital file. Or, they can hang them in the venue for the duration of the exhibition.
The ground floor will also open its racks for the first time to a curated selection of used vinyl for sale drawn from some of the best collections the city has to offer, with a real focus on Sheffield artists and labels past/present to carry the legacy forward.
At the end of June, the walls will be refreshed for the first ever exhibition telling the amazing story of 'SHEFFIELD CABLEVISION TV (1972-76)'.
With newly printed photography from surviving staff members and crew, plus archive artefacts and merchandise, the Memory Dance micro cinema space will also be launched with an exclusive, rarely seen collection of Cablevision TV Station archive video.
Memory Dance at Chapel Walk will soft launch on 05.06.26, and you can find out more here.
