Cross Court Padel to Open Second Site at Canford Magna With Full Launch Day

Cross Court Padel is expanding with a brand-new club at Canford Magna, and everyone is invited to celebrate. The launch day promises free coaching sessions, exhibition matches, family entertainment and plenty of opportunities to try one of the UK's fastest-growing sports.

Canford Magna is getting a new padel club, and Cross Court Padel isn’t opening it quietly. The club, which already runs Dorset’s first indoor padel centre in Poole, has announced a full launch day for its second site on Saturday 15th August, running from 9am to 5pm on Provence Drive, with free padel sessions, family entertainment and a few incentives for early risers.

Sharing the news on social media, the team say the first 100 people through the doors will pick up a gift bag, so it might be worth setting an alarm. Once inside, there’s plenty to fill the day. Coach-led 15-minute intro sessions are free, there’s a one-point tournament, and braver visitors can take on a professional in a Beat a Pro challenge. For those who’d rather watch than play, the club has promised an exhibition match featuring what it describes as Top 100 UK players and a Premier Padel entrant.

Away from the courts, the outdoor space will have a DJ, a bouncy castle and games, alongside a BBQ, an outdoor lounge area and a fully stocked bar. Pop-up stalls from padel brands will be showcasing kit on the day, whether you’re a seasoned player or just curious about the sport everyone keeps talking about.

Details on how to book intro sessions and the one-point tournament are still to come, with the club promising more news soon.

Cross Court Padel launch day, Saturday 15th August, 9am to 5pm, 105 Provence Drive, Bournemouth BH11 9FE. Keep an eye on crosscourtpadel.co.uk for booking details.
