General

Padel Shift at Elkstone Studios is set within one of the Cotswolds’ most exciting new destinations, a carefully designed rural space just outside Cheltenham that brings together sport, wellness, food and independent retail.

Our club features two top-quality, covered outdoor padel courts allowing for year-round play in all weather. The padel courts are open seven days a week, with a full timetable of coaching sessions, socials and events available throughout the year. Whether you’re joining us for a coaching session, a competitive match, or a casual game with friends, it's all available at Elkstone.

Elkstone combines excellent facilities, expert coaching and a strong community feel set within a stunning Cotswolds backdrop.

Location

Elkstone Studios is a transformed farmyard turned vibrant destination. The wider site is home to a growing collection of independent businesses, including Knead Bakery & Patisserie, known for its coffee, brunches and pastries, and Jesse Smith’s food hall and butchery, offering high-quality local produce. There’s a covered outdoor seating area and lawn space for post-game coffees and catch-ups, alongside a children’s playground, wellness studios, gym, and co-working spaces — making it a destination as well as a padel club.
