A new purpose-built indoor padel club in St Annes is up and running, with the co-founders of the company behind it delighted to see everything on schedule at the response from locals.

Ace Padel in partnership with AIM Capital opened the new centre at the former Howdens site on Scafell Road with a grand party day on Saturday, June 13.

The centre will includes five indoor courts, a contemporary café/bar and a dedicated wellness space as well as a state-of-the-art golf simulator and a varied programme of coaching, social play and events.

A Michelin star chef will also be on handto ensure the food is top notch.

The centre will be open from 6am to 11pm seven days a week but Ace Padel co-founder Jamie Reynolds has said anticipation has been such locally that the hours might be extended.

“We have been absolutely blown away by the enthusiasm in the area for the sport and the centre,” said Jamie.

“We’ve been overwhelmed by how much local people know about padel.

“We know there is already a strong foothold for the sport locally as well as a big tennis community and we are really looking forward to welcoming people from St Annes and around to the centre.

“The aim is to make it not just a sport venue but a real community hub and we look forward to welcoming people to our party opening and beyond.”
