Why Cambridge Needs Indoor Padel

Outdoor courts are great in summer — but this is England

I play outdoors at the moment and I've had at least ten sessions rained off this year alone. An indoor facility in Cambridge would be an absolute game-changer — I'd play twice a week instead of hoping for dry weather.

We tried to book outdoor padel for a team event last November. Cancelled twice because of rain. An indoor option near the office would mean we could actually lock in a regular slot and know it's happening.

James K.

I've played indoor padel in Spain and Copenhagen — it's a completely different experience to outdoor. Consistent lighting, no wind affecting the ball, comfortable temperature. Cambridge desperately needs this.

Indoor Padel in Cambridge — Everything You Need to Know

Padel Mill is Cambridge's first dedicated indoor padel tennis club, bringing purpose-built courts to the city for year-round play. Padel is the fastest-growing racquet sport in the UK, combining elements of tennis and squash on an enclosed glass-walled court. It's played in doubles, easy to learn, and one of the most social sports you can play — making it ideal for beginners, experienced players, and corporate groups alike.

While Cambridge has several outdoor padel courts — including at David Lloyd and local tennis clubs — there is currently no indoor padel facility in the city. This means players lose months of the year to rain, wind, and poor light. Padel Mill solves this with a fully indoor venue featuring 8-metre ceilings, professional LED court lighting, climate control, and premium court surfaces designed to FIP (International Padel Federation) specifications.

The club will be located within 3 miles of Cambridge city centre, accessible from the A14 and with dedicated customer parking. We're converting a high-ceiling industrial warehouse — the same approach used by successful indoor padel venues across the UK in cities like Sheffield, Leeds, Milton Keynes, and London.

Padel Mill will offer court hire for casual play, coaching and academy programmes for all ages and levels, weekly social leagues (Americano and Mexicano formats), corporate team-building events, and private hire for parties and groups. Equipment hire will be available for newcomers who want to try the sport before investing in their own racket.

We're currently building a waitlist ahead of our planned 2027 opening. Early supporters who sign up receive founding member rates, priority court booking, and first access to leagues and events. There's no cost or commitment — join the waitlist in 30 seconds to stay updated on our progress.

FAQs

Here you can get answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Contact us
What is padel?
Padel is a racquet sport that combines elements of tennis and squash. It's played in doubles on an enclosed court about a third of the size of a tennis court. The walls are in play, making rallies longer and more fun. It's the fastest-growing sport in the UK and one of the easiest racquet sports to pick up — most beginners can rally within their first session.
Is there indoor padel in Cambridge?
Not yet. Cambridge currently has outdoor padel courts, but no dedicated indoor facility. Padel Mill will be Cambridge's first purpose-built indoor padel club, with climate-controlled courts, professional lighting, and 8-metre ceilings for unrestricted play 365 days a year. We're targeting a 2027 opening near the city centre.
What is the difference between indoor and outdoor padel?
Indoor padel eliminates the biggest frustrations of outdoor play: rain cancellations, wind affecting the ball, poor lighting in winter, and cold temperatures. Indoor courts provide consistent conditions year-round — controlled lighting, no wind interference, and comfortable temperature. In the UK climate, indoor courts typically see 40–60% more playing hours per year than outdoor equivalents.
When will Padel Mill open?
We're targeting 2027 for opening. We're currently securing a site near Cambridge city centre and working through the planning process. Join the waitlist to get updates and founding member pricing — early supporters will get discounted rates and priority booking when we open.
How much will it cost to play padel at Padel Mill?
Pricing will be confirmed closer to opening, but we're aiming to be competitive with other indoor racquet sports in the Cambridge area. Expect court hire from around £32–44 per hour for four players, which works out at £8–11 per person. Founding members who join the waitlist now will receive discounted rates when we open.
Is padel easy to learn? Do I need experience?
Padel is one of the easiest racquet sports to learn. The underhand serve, smaller court, and enclosed walls mean rallies last longer from your very first game. No experience is needed — complete beginners can enjoy a fun, competitive game within 30 minutes. We'll offer coaching for all levels, from first-timers to advanced players.
What equipment do I need to play padel?
You'll need a padel racket, padel balls, and comfortable sports clothing with indoor court shoes. Padel rackets are solid (no strings) and shorter than tennis rackets. We'll offer equipment hire so you can try the sport without buying your own gear first.
Do you offer training and coaching?
Yes — we'll offer group sessions, private one-to-one coaching, junior programmes, and a structured academy pathway for all levels from complete beginners to competitive players. Our coaches will be LTA or FIP certified and experienced in developing players of all ages and abilities.
Can I host a corporate event or party at Padel Mill?
Absolutely. Padel is one of the best team-building activities available — it's social, fun, and accessible to all fitness levels. We'll offer corporate team building packages, private event hire, birthday parties, stag and hen dos, and company leagues. Whether you're a group of 4 or 100, we can help organise your event with catering options and dedicated event coordination.
Where will Padel Mill be located?
We're securing a warehouse space within 3 miles of Cambridge city centre, with easy access from the A14 and close to the station and science parks. The venue will have ample customer parking. Exact location will be confirmed soon — join the waitlist for updates.
What are the founding member benefits?
Founding members who sign up to the waitlist before we open will receive discounted court rates, priority booking windows, early access to leagues and tournaments, and exclusive founding member events. There's no cost or commitment to join the waitlist — it takes 30 seconds.
