Wiveliscombe Tennis Club is located just a two minute walk from Sharpe Cottage and is a bit of a local gem. Founded way back in 1926, this club is more than just a place to play tennis; it’s a vibrant part of our community here in Somerset.
The club offers three top-notch, fully-maintained courts where you can play all year round. Two of them have full floodlighting, so you can keep playing even when the sun decides to call it a day. The clubhouse is pretty nifty too, complete with changing rooms, toilets, and a kitchen area.
And it’s not just about the tennis. The club grounds are a lovely spot to relax. With a patio and outdoor seating, it’s perfect for a post-match cuppa or just watching the world (and some tennis) go by.
Got little ones? They’ve got a junior net too, so you can introduce them to the game. And if you’re looking to practice solo, the ball machine (affectionately known as the ‘lobster’) is just the ticket.
Anyone for a game of Tennis?
The club accepts non members. Pay and Play guests can book a court online for just £6 an hour. It’s a steal, really. And the process is a doddle – book, get your confirmation, and you’re all set.
For those keen on coaching there’s a small additional fee on top of the coaching cost, but it’s well worth it for the quality of instruction on offer. Visit their website here.
