Edgbaston Archery & Lawn Tennis Society

Established in 1860, Edgbaston Archery & Lawn Tennis Society holds historic status as the world's oldest lawn tennis club. Alongside its traditional grass and all-weather tennis surfaces, the club has expanded its racket sports provision with dedicated outdoor padel courts. The courts feature synthetic turf and modern floodlights, enabling competitive and social matchplay throughout the evening. The playing culture remains member-led yet welcoming to visiting players, with internal box leagues, social mix-ins, and weekend match sessions. Court reservations run through an online booking platform, allowing players to secure slots easily ahead of peak times. Set within mature botanical surroundings off Westbourne Road, the grounds combine heritage sports tradition with active, fast-paced padel action. It offers a focused environment for players who appreciate well-kept court surfaces, clean bounces, and a competitive local sports community in South Birmingham.
