Soul Padel to open permanent site in Stockport

Soul Padel will open a permanent, four-court padel facility in Stockport. Located adjacent to a store operated by sports goods retailer Decathlon, the courts are set to open in early Spring 2025.

The venue will feature canopy-covered courts and a clubhouse and is being launched following the success of Soul Padel’s temporary Stockport courts, which saw growing demand and consistent bookings.

According to Mark Hewlett, founder of Soul Padel, the expansion of the plans for the Stockport site signal the company’s continued commitment to growing padel in the UK, ensuring that the sport “remains affordable and accessible to everyone”.

Soul Padel has also invested in coaching programmes which aim to develop and improve the skills of players of all ages and abilities.
