Duxford Lawn Tennis Club

Welcome to Duxford Lawn Tennis Club. We have two hard, recently resurfaced courts, both with court lighting, and a small clubhouse. The club is located on the recreation field near the centre of the village. We are next to Duxford Community Centre, which gives us the use of its changing rooms, as well as parking.

Court lighting/tokens

Do take advantage of the court lighting to extend your evening's play. Tokens cost £3 for an hour (you can buy up to five tokens at a time). They are available from Tracy Marwood who lives in the village (text her on 07876 506754 ). The meter box is on the front of the clubhouse.

Funding and grants

We received funding for the court resurfacing, plus new nets and posts, from Amey Community Fund, South Cambs Community Chest, Cambridgeshire LTA and the Mick George Sports Fund.

We have secured grants for the court lighting from Sport England and Amey Community Fund.

We are  grateful to Duxford Parish Council for supporting our funding bids, extending our lease and offering an electricity supply for the court lighting.

We are also grateful to Amey Cespa and the Cambridge Community Foundation for their continued support and help to develop our club.
