Play tennis in the Cotswolds
Where are we?
Northleach Tennis Club can be found next to the King George V playing fields by the playground and river Leach. Meadow Lane footpath connects us to the main street just to the east of the town square.
There are two high quality all weather tarmac courts and a small hut.
Our aim
We are a friendly club that promotes the playing of tennis for all ages. Juniors, seniors and rusty returners!

The club meets 6:30pm on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer (April to end of Sept), some Thursday evenings and throughout the year we meet every 3rd Sunday of the month at 2:00 pm.
The junior club is on Thursday afternoons from 4:00 till 6:00pm starting in June until the clocks change back in October.
The courts are available for hire to non-club members by arrangement with "Fruit Cakes" the bakery in the Town square. To use the courts outside shop hours then please contact either 01451-860903 or 01451-860548.
