Club de Padel has agreed a deal to open a new indoor padel club at Capital&Centric’s mixed-use Cannon Brewery development in Sheffield.
Sheffield’s first dedicated indoor padel club will feature five padel courts alongside a club shop, coffee and juice bar, and additional social and wellness space.
Capital&Centric is working with South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) and Sheffield City Council to bring forward the Cannon Brewery development.
When it is fully built out, the former brewery site will provide 550 new homes, workspace and cultural spaces, a lush urban park and a new public square with shops, cafés and spaces for pop-up events.
Tom Wilmot, joint managing director of Capital&Centric, said: “For us, this is about bringing life to a forgotten, unloved space and creating a community before we’ve even started building work, while boosting Sheffield’s standing as the outdoor, active city. Opening a padel club in this post-industrial setting will create an immersive and engaging experience unlike anywhere else, so we’re super excited to be bringing Club de Padel to Cannon Brewery. Padel is rapidly growing in popularity, so we’ve got the opportunity to do something really special here, kickstarting the regeneration of Neepsend.”
David Blake, co-founder of Club de Padel, added: “We’re really excited to bring Club de Padel to Sheffield and have the chance to breathe new life into this incredible space alongside the team at Capital&Centric. We’ve had some fantastic times in this city over the years, as both kids and adults, so we can’t wait to bring Club de Padel here and to introduce as many people as possible to this amazing sport which is exploding across the UK.”
