13-court indoor pickleball and padel centre set for Farnham

Work is underway on a new padel and pickleball centre in Farnham, Surrey, following a lease agreement between Rainier Developments and Hurlands Pickleball + Padel Club.

The £2.75m project will provide 13 indoor courts – 10 for pickleball and three for padel – at the Farnham Trading Estate.

Set to open in January 2026, the plans also include social spaces, yoga, Pilates studios, treatment rooms, changing facilities and a club shop.

Waverley Borough Council granted planning permission to Hurlands Pickleball + Padel Club in 2024. The council owns the building at the Farnham Trading Estate, with Rainier leasing the site on a long-term basis.

Councillor Mark Merryweather, Waverley Borough Council’s portfolio holder for property, said: “This is an exciting new investment for the borough, bringing fresh opportunities for residents and local businesses, while supporting health, wellbeing, and active lifestyles.

“Once completed, the new centre will be a great asset for Farnham, offering residents the chance to try two increasingly popular sports, connect with others, and stay active in a modern, welcoming space. We’ll continue working closely with Rainier Developments and Hurlands to support this fantastic project and help it bring real value to our community.”

The Farnham club will be open to players of all ages and abilities.
