1. Play Casually

Casual Badminton is one of our most popular activities. You can either book in advance or just turn up and enjoy a game with a partner or a group of friends. It’s tons of fun, a really good whole-body workout and you don’t need any special equipment. Just turn up with a pair of trainers and we can provide the rest (although feel free to bring along your own racquet and shuttle cocks if you prefer).

2. No Strings Badminton

This session is perfect for adults (16+) who want to play badminton socially. Our friendly session co-ordinators will engage with you. They will ensure you are supported to be active and having fun throughout your time on the court. The best part is you don’t need a partner, racket or shuttle to join in; you can just turn up and play.
