Hen Do Padel — Prosecco & Padel

Not at all — it is the reason padel works for a hen do. The court is smaller, the walls keep the ball in play and the racket is easy to hold, so a complete beginner is winning points inside ten minutes. Groups where nobody has played before usually have the best sessions, because everyone is equally hopeless together.

Four per court, so the maths works in fours. We book enough court time for the whole group to be on at once rather than half of you watching from the side in the heat — and for larger hen parties we will run a round-robin so the pairings keep changing and everyone plays everyone.

Yes, and for a hen do we would push you towards it. An hour with a coach at the start turns flailing into actual rallies, which is when it becomes properly fun. Coaching is what we do best, and we can arrange a session that is light and social rather than a drill-heavy clinic.

Padel is gentle enough that a mixed-age group genuinely plays together, and anyone sitting a session out has the hotel, the bar and the town to enjoy rather than a sports centre car park. Tell us who is coming and we will pick a base that works for all of them.

Courts in the popular spots go early for peak weekends, so the sooner the better — but as we are pre-launch every trip is quoted individually, so send us your dates even if they are tight and we will tell you honestly what is still available.
