Cheshire Oaks set for new padel centre opening in August

Ignite Padel will be open 24 hours a day, with five top-tier indoor courts and two outdoor courts, allowing play in all weathers.

Now the fastest growing racquet sport in the world, padel – which is a cross between tennis and squash – has become hugely popular in the UK.

A spokesman for Ignite Padel says Cheshire Oaks is the ideal location for its latest club.

He explained: “Cheshire Oaks is a major focal point for the whole area and millions of people head there every year, so it gives us a wide reach into Cheshire, Wirral and Liverpool in the winter months."

Ignite Padel, a Liverpool-based company, opened its first site in the city in April 2025 with six floodlit outdoor courts which have since been fully booked.

The new centre, which is located just minutes from the M53, is scheduled to launch in August 2025.

It will not only have world-class playing facilities but also features a coffee shop and retail store where players can shop for racquets, balls and clothing in person rather than online and find exactly the right fit.

Like Ignite Padel Liverpool, the new Cheshire Oaks club will offer expert coaching from beginner to more experienced level.

There will be regular social tournaments where players of a similar standard – divided into bronze, silver or gold skill rankings – are able to compete to win personal points and have the opportunity to team up with different partners.
