Squash Courts

We have three squash courts available to book for 45 minute slots. 1 court is used for table-tennis whilst the other two courts are used for squash and racket ball. You can hire rackets or purchase a variety of squash and racket balls at our reception depending on your ability.  We also run squash leagues which is a great way to meet other players and improve your skills.

If you would like more information or advice about playing squash or our squash leagues please email us

Racket ball

Racket ball is played with a shorter racket and a larger ball which slows the bounce making the coordination easier. This is the perfect introduction for beginners new into squash and/or racket sports.
