A new state-of-the-art indoor padel and social club will open its doors in Ashford, Kent on the 1st of October 2024. This state-of-the-art facility promises to raise the padel experience for players of all levels, offering a unique combination of world-class courts, social spaces, and fitness facilities – just 38 minutes from London!  

Founded by local businessman Sam De Haan, Square One Padel is Kent's first dedicated indoor padel club, ensuring year-round play with its fully enclosed courts. Sam, who discovered padel during a European work trip, was determined to bring the sport's energy and excitement to the UK.   “Padel is a fantastic sport for everyone and that's why it's grown so quickly in popularity. There are hardly any indoor courts across the southeast and those that do exist have huge waiting lists. The Square One Padel Centre has been designed with top of the range professional equipment providing an all-weather, every season facility for enthusiasts, seasoned professionals and beginners alike.”   

A New Era of Padel in Kent Square One Padel & Social Club is a premium facility that includes three doubles courts and one singles court, an exclusive gym, a Pilates studio, and even an on-site restaurant and bar with a full à la carte menu. Additional wellness offerings include ice baths, on-site physiotherapists, and a pro shop for equipment.   

The club's central location in Brookfield Industrial Estate, Ashford, is just a short walk from Ashford International Train Station, making it easily accessible for players from surrounding areas and London, via the high-speed line from Stratford International and St Pancras International.   Membership Information Adult membership starts at just £25 per month or £300 per year, while over-60s can join for £20 per month or £240 per year.
