About Manc Padel

Why Manc Padel exists

Padel arrived in Manchester and took off fast. New courts kept opening, group chats filled up with "where can we actually play this week", and there was no single place that told you the truth about any of it. So we built one.

Manc Padel is an independent guide to padel across Greater Manchester. Every court, honestly rated. The coaches worth booking. The socials and leagues worth turning up to. And the gear actually worth your money, written by people who play here, not a brand trying to sell you a racket.

How our ratings work

We score every venue across the things that matter on the day: courts and facilities, value for money, how easy it is to book and get to, the atmosphere, and how welcoming it is if you are brand new. The overall score is our honest editorial view. If a venue pays to be featured we label it clearly, and paying never changes the rating.

Who it is for

For the complete beginner who booked a court and has no idea what to bring. For the regular chasing a covered court in November. For the visitor who wants the best game in the city tonight. And for the venues and coaches who want local players to find them.
