Riverside Tennis Club

Welcome to Bedfordshire's No.1 tennis club

Located close to the centre of Bedford, we offer nine floodlit courts, three of which are covered during the winter months, as well as great-value full membership for around £7 per week. With more than 600 members, Riverside is an active, inclusive, and award-winning club. Membership benefits include team tennis, three social sessions each week, free adult coaching, and a welcoming clubhouse with a bar, shop, café, and a full calendar of social events.

We play tennis 52 weeks of the year, so why not start now? Tennis is excellent exercise and a truly social sport. During the winter, three courts are covered by our air dome, ensuring year-round play. Outdoors, we have three artificial clay courts that perform well in all weathers, plus three additional tarmac courts.

We welcome players of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time, returning to the game after a break, or competing at a high level, we’d love to see you at Riverside. Join online today and become part of our community!
