Kent’s padel scene has grown quickly over the past two years, and what was once a handful of outdoor courts at tennis clubs has turned into something more substantial. There are now purpose-built indoor venues across the county – from the Medway towns out to the coast – with more on the way. If you’re in Kent and looking for a court, you have more options than you might think.

This guide covers the main venues by area, from west Kent to the coast, with details on courts, booking, and what each club is like in practice.

West Kent and the Sevenoaks area

The western fringes of Kent are close enough to London to benefit from London’s padel expansion, and there are several venues worth knowing about.

Hollybush Padel Club (Sevenoaks, TN13 3XN) has three outdoor floodlit courts in a green, rural setting. It’s a friendly club atmosphere rather than a big-city fitness chain – good for regular play, especially in the warmer months. Book via Playtomic.

The Sundridge Park near Bromley covers the TN/BR border and provides outdoor court access for members and casual players. If you’re in that northern fringe between London and Sevenoaks, it’s worth checking their booking calendar.

Marden Sports Club in Tonbridge has outdoor padel as part of a broader multi-sport offering in a village setting – one of the county’s more rural padel options.

Tunbridge Wells

Tunbridge Wells has Kent’s strongest indoor padel offering.

PADELHUB TN2 (Nevill Gate, Tunbridge Wells, TN2 5ES) has six indoor courts in a dedicated facility. It’s the regional flagship for the PADELHUB chain and offers consistent court quality year-round. Court hire runs from around £50–£105 per hour depending on day and time, with Playtomic used for all bookings.

There’s also Hexa Padel in Tunbridge Wells, which offers court hire alongside coaching and social sessions – worth checking if you’re new to the sport and want a more structured introduction.

The Medway towns

Frindsbury Tennis and Padel Club (Frog Island, Upnor Road, Rochester, ME2 4UX) is one of Kent’s most-developed padel venues. The club’s own booking system lists ten padel courts (October 2026), alongside the club’s tennis facilities. The courts are outdoor and floodlit, so year-round play is possible. Frindsbury is a proper club with a real padel community – open matches, player rating sessions and a membership base rather than just a booking platform with courts attached.

It’s one of the best options in Kent for anyone who wants more than just court hire.

Sittingbourne and mid-Kent

Maidstone has two indoor clubs and a third planned: Forever Padel in Boughton Monchelsea (five courts), Square One at Larkfield Mill in Aylesford (seven of ten courts open) and Pulse Padel at the YMCA, listed for December 2026. See our Maidstone padel guide for prices and booking.

Square One Padel opened its Sittingbourne location in spring 2026, adding nine courts at Dolphin Park on Cremers Road in the Eurolink industrial estate. The club follows the same format as Square One’s Ashford venue (seven indoor courts, which has been running longer) – fully panoramic indoor courts, a gym, restaurant, recovery and therapy spaces, and a pilates studio. Over £1 million was invested in the Sittingbourne site.

Square One also has plans for courts at Sittingbourne and Milton Regis Golf Club, which would expand mid-Kent’s offering further. Check squareonepadel.com for booking.

Ashford is served by the original Square One Padel venue, which remains the only purpose-built padel centre in the Ashford area. Seven indoor panoramic courts, available via Playtomic.

Wye Tennis Club near Ashford has outdoor padel courts in a rural setting for those in the east of the county.

Canterbury and east Kent

Brakepoint Padel Club (Unit 4C, Simmonds Road, Wincheap Estate, Canterbury, CT1 3RA) is the main venue in the city. Three indoor panoramic courts, a coffee shop, a pro shop, free parking, and equipment rental – it’s a well-run facility that covers the basics well. Court hire runs from around £36–£58 per hour. Open 6am–11pm daily, book via Playtomic.

Canterbury also has five courts listed across other platforms for the area, though Brakepoint is the dedicated padel club.

The coast – Ramsgate, Deal, Folkestone, Whitstable

The coastal towns have developed their own padel venues as the sport has moved beyond the major commuter-belt cities.

REWD Padel in Ramsgate (New Haine Road, near Westwood Cross) is a purpose-built facility – the first of its kind in Kent when it opened. Six courts, including four indoor, plus a café/bar and wellness facilities. The indoor courts make it a viable year-round option regardless of the weather off the Channel.

Play Padel Club Deal (CT14 9AL) covers the east Kent coast. Worth calling ahead to check current availability and court numbers.

PadelStars Folkestone (CT19 5JU) serves the south coast, with Folkestone being one of the better-connected spots in the county for padel given its transport links.

Smash Padel Whitstable (CT5 3QS) rounds out the coastal options – a smaller venue that suits local regulars and casual play.

Booking across Kent

Most Kent venues use Playtomic or Playskan for bookings, so downloading both apps gives you maximum coverage. The social padel guide covers how to find regular games and social sessions if you’re playing somewhere new – Kent has an active social scene at several clubs.

If you’re comparing options in the south-east more broadly, the padel Brighton guide covers the Sussex coast as a neighbouring option, and the padel London guide is useful for anyone juggling city-side and Kent-side venues.

Getting started

If you’re new to the sport and Kent is where you’ll be playing, Frindsbury in Rochester and PADELHUB in Tunbridge Wells both run beginner-friendly sessions. Square One Sittingbourne’s coaching programme is also worth looking at.

Kent’s courts are spread across a large county, so the right venue depends on where you’re based. But the coverage is better than it was two years ago, and the growth isn’t slowing down.
