Bob Carter Leisure Centre Trust

Bob Carter Leisure Centre Trust operates as an independent community sports hub in Drayton, northwest of Norwich. Driven by a dedicated charitable trust, the venue provides accessible racket sports for local residents. The outdoor padel courts feature synthetic turf and durable glass surrounds, catering directly to the growing regional appetite for the game. Players find a practical, unpretentious environment where competitive league players and casual groups share court time throughout the week. Powerful LED floodlighting ensures fixtures proceed without interruption through autumn and winter evenings. Court reservations run through a straightforward online pay-and-play booking system, removing the barrier of compulsory membership fees. Alongside padel, the centre hosts squash, badminton, and community fitness programmes, creating an active, multi-sport social network. It remains a dependable venue for regular weekly matches, weekend friendlies, and grassroots racket sport progression in Norfolk.
