Southampton padel venues in detail
PadelStars Southampton — best value in the city
Address: Trojans Club, Eastleigh SO50
Southampton's largest dedicated padel club, with 4 indoor and 2 outdoor courts at the Trojans Club in Eastleigh. Pricing is quoted per person rather than per court — from £8.50 non-member, £6.80 for standard members — making it the most accessible venue in the city for casual players. Books through the PadelStars app rather than Playtomic.
PADELHUB SO16 — fully indoor, year-round
Address: Adanac Drive, Southampton SO16
Five indoor courts on Adanac Drive, priced from around £40–£60 per court/hour (roughly £10–£15 per person in doubles). Fully covered, so weather is never a factor. Books via Playtomic.
David Lloyd West End
Two outdoor padel courts at David Lloyd's West End club, bookable via the David Lloyd app. Access requires a Platinum-tier membership, so it's not a realistic option for casual players — PadelStars or PADELHUB are the better routes in without an existing membership.
New Place Hotel — Shirrell Heath
Two seasonal outdoor courts at New Place Hotel, around 8 miles outside Southampton in Shirrell Heath, from £15 per court/hour booked directly with the venue. Worth knowing about if the city centre clubs are fully booked.
Southampton's padel scene in context
Southampton's padel scene has grown from a single leisure-club add-on to two proper dedicated clubs within the past couple of years, with PadelStars and PADELHUB now offering genuine pay-and-play access rather than requiring membership. That puts Southampton ahead of many similarly sized UK cities, though still some way behind the biggest South Coast padel markets. Portsmouth and Bournemouth are the nearest comparable scenes; Bristol to the west is the nearest true padel hub.
Booking note: PadelStars uses its own booking app rather than Playtomic — download it separately if you're planning to play at the Trojans Club site.
