Hartlepool Lawn Tennis Club

Hartlepool Lawn Tennis Club is a not-for-profit community club. The club is run by volunteers and is owned by its members. The club has an all year round venue LED floodlight system ensuring  play through the winter nights.

Our courts and floodlights can be booked on our Bookings page.

Did you know you don't now have to be a member to play at the club? If you fancy the odd game or two, when it suits you, you can now use our Pay & Play feature on our Bookings page. Simply book and pay online. You will be given a 4 digit code (PIN) for gate entry.

Visitors and new members are always welcome. If you’re a Junior new to the game or an old-hand thinking of picking up a racket again, just contact us (go to our Contact page) and we’ll arrange a free introductory session. If you like what you see, applying for membership couldn’t be easier. Go to our Membership page or contact our Membership Director for further details. 

The following are just some of the sessions we run during the year and tennis seasons:

• Adult & Junior coaching sessions
• Coached adult beginner sessions for those new to the game
• Adult social tennis sessions held four times a week
• Junior school holiday camps (age 4 to 15)
• Competitive tennis with men’s, ladies’ and mixed teams
• Summer and Winter league tennis
• Social & fundraising events

Founded in 1884, Hartlepool Lawn Tennis Club is one of the very oldest surviving tennis clubs in the world. Still a thriving club at the heart of the community, we offer something for everyone, with well attended sessions and events for every level of player, including tennis coaching for adults and children.
