Welcome to Elms Lawn Tennis Club - Somerset Club of the Year 2021

Club mix-in sessions continue over the winter months

Elms LTC is a small, vibrant and friendly club with 4 beautiful grass courts set in a garden square just a short distance from Taunton town centre. 

Our summer season runs from early May to late September, after which our members are able to continue playing in a couple of club mix-in sessions on the outdoor courts at Blackbrook each week.

Summer Season tennis (early May to late September) on our own grass courts

During the summer, we organise members' mix-in sessions on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons (tea and cakes also on offer!) and also on Sunday afternoons too.  We have 3 teams playing matches playing in the local league, tennis coaching, and active WhatsApp groups to make it easy for members to organise and join other tennis games throughout the week.  We also organise various social tournaments and events throughout the summer season. 

Our membership packages include free court bookings, although Guest Fees of £5 per guest are payable for any non-members playing on a member's booked court (maximum of £10 per court/hour).

Members of the public are welcome to book our grass courts through our website, for a £10 hourly fee per court.

We have an Open Day in May each year, but we're always happy to welcome prospective members at any time, so don't worry if you don't make it to our Open Day - just let us know if you'd like to come and try out our courts or to discuss memberhsip options: info@elmstennis.co.uk 

Winter Season tennis (from September 25th 2024 - early May 2025) at Blackbrook

During the winter season, we have an arrangement with Blackbrook that enables our members to continue to play tennis on hard courts (outdoors) for club mix-in sessions on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons - all included in our full membership packages.

Our WhatsApp group is also much used by members for organising their own winter games on other hard courts around Taunton:  Blackbrook, Vivary Park and Taunton Green in particular.
