Padel Comes to Dartington Hall Estate: New Pop-Up Court Launches in Devon
Padel United UK is thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new pop-up padel court at the iconic Dartington Hall Estate, in partnership with LED Leisure. Nestled within the stunning grounds this premium court offers players a truly unique experience in one of Devon’s most inspiring and culturally rich locations.
Third Padel Venue in Devon
Following the success of permanent padel courts in Plymouth and Torquay, Dartington marks Padel United UK’s third active site in Devon. It also builds on the excitement of our recent pop-up activation in Plymouth City Centre, where hundreds of first-time players discovered the joy of padel.
Free Padel for the Dartington Community – Launch Week from 22nd July
To celebrate the opening, Padel United UK is offering a full week of free padel from 22nd July, inviting the Dartington and Totnes communities to come and try the sport. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned player, it’s the perfect chance to get on court and experience this exciting, fast-growing game.
“Dartington is a beautiful and culturally rich setting, and we’re thrilled to bring Padel here,”
said Rich Hall Smith, Managing Director of Padel United UK.
“This pop-up represents exactly what we’re about—bringing padel to the people, making it fun, accessible, and affordable.”
Game On! Affordable Premium Padel
After the free opening week, court bookings will be available at an incredible £3.75 per person, per hour—one of the most affordable padel rates in the UK. Equipment is available to hire on site, making it easy for anyone to join in.
“We’re keeping prices low because we believe sport should be for everyone, not just a few,”
said Miles Bromilow, Operations Director.
“We can’t wait to welcome the Dartington community to this amazing new space.”
