Do you host corporate teams?

We do, regularly. Corporate wellness days, team socials, client entertaining and full tournaments are some of our most-loved events — padel is a brilliant leveller for teams, and our clubhouse team is on hand to curate an event that reflects your company ethos. Our team handles full event organisation for you: court allocation, coaching, catering, drinks and any extras like a DJ or branded touches. Group size shapes the day — smaller teams might take one or two courts for an hour, while larger groups typically take a full House Takeover with all four courts and exclusive use of the venue. Get in touch with your headcount, preferred date and what you're hoping for, and we'll put together a plan and a quote.

Can I book a private venue hire?

Yes — a full House Takeover is one of our most popular bookings. Private venue hire gives you exclusive use of the clubhouse and courts, so it's just your group, your playlist and your event, uninterrupted. The private venue hire option is popular for milestone birthdays, brand takeovers and larger corporate events or member socials where you want the whole House to yourselves. Submit a booking request with your date, guest numbers and what you have in mind, and we'll come back with a fully costed proposal.

Do you offer food & beverage for events?

Always. Food & beverage is a key part of a House of Racquet event, from pre-match coffees from our barista-led Clubhouse and functional smoothies for wellbeing mornings, to post-match tacos and margaritas. Our resident chef and bar team have created sharing menus designed for social play, and we also offer fully bespoke options.

We will do our very best to accommodate your preferred date. Please indicate your preferred dates in your booking enquiry form, along with any flexibility on date or time.

How much will an event cost?

It depends entirely on your group size, how many courts and hours you need, and any extras — for example, whether you'd like catering, drinks packages or extras like coaching, a DJ, branded touches, or commercial content/filming. Whilst no two events look exactly the same, as a guide, our most-loved packages start from: - Private Party — 2 hours, 20 guests — from £1,600 + VAT - Brand Activation — half-day, 30 guests — from £3,400 + VAT - Corporate Tournament — full House Takeover, 80 guests — from £6,100 + VAT These are starting points, fully customisable to your group. Once you complete a booking request form, our events team will put together a fully costed quote tailored to your date, numbers and wishlist. Please note that these prices are indicative only, and subject to change.

What is the cancellation policy for events?

Once your event is confirmed with payment, the date is held exclusively for you — which is why our cancellation policy reflects the notice we need to try and rebook that time: - More than 4 weeks before your event: cancellation forfeits 50% of the total charges - Less than 4 weeks before your event: cancellation forfeits 100% of the total charges If we need to amend or cancel your booking for reasons outside your control — weather, maintenance or site conditions — we'll always offer you an alternative time or a full refund. Full terms are set out in your Venue Hire Agreement, which we'll share when your event is confirmed. This is separate to booking a standard court for a casual game, which follows our usual 24-hour cancellation window — please see our general court booking FAQs for that.

Do I need to book an event to hire 2 courts with some friends?

If it's just you and some friends looking for a regular game within the usual 7-day booking window, you can book through our booking platform like any other court booking. For advance bookings (more than 7 days ahead) and/or group bookings that exceed the usual 4 people per court, we require an event booking. As a general guide, larger groups (from around 16 people upwards) will need all four courts and start to look more like an event, at which point it's worth getting in touch so we can plan it properly.
