2 HEAD Tour Tennis Balls on court by a net.

Book a court

Indoor and outdoor courts available for hire – book online or at reception.

A warm welcome whatever your goal 

Singles, doubles, mixed doubles, young, old, or in between, able-bodied or in a wheelchair – tennis is a wonderful way for everyone to get ‘court’ in the action.
Our eight high-quality indoor tennis courts and two outdoor courts for hire are available on a pay-as-you-go basis.

In fact, our tennis facilities are so highly regarded that they serve as the Lawn Tennis Association’s Regional Player Development Centre (RPDC) for the North West.   

We cater for every level and every age, from social players playing for fun with friends to would-be Wimbledon champions.   

We also cater for a wide range of ages, with tennis lessons for children and adults available for booking.   

The Bolton Arena Tennis Academy aims to optimise a child’s tennis potential between the ages of 10-14 years. The players in our programme are challenged in an intensive, professional environment with like-minded players and coaches driving the day-to-day standards.  

Our goal is to produce internationally relevant tennis players who will go on to be selected for the LTA’s National Academy or stay on our pathway to professional tennis. 

But if your goal is just to enjoy a good game of tennis, you’re just as welcome!
