BARCLAYS FREE PARK TENNIS IS HERE!!
Our volunteer Tennis Activators ran their first Barclays Free Park Tennis on behalf of Hatfield Peverel Parish Council back in April 2026.
The free fun sessions continue to run every Sunday from 10 am - 11am on the Strutt Memorial Recreation Ground Tennis Courts (behind the Village Hall).
Anyone is welcome to take part in our free tennis lessons, whether you're a complete beginner or have played before. It's family friendly so children are welcome, though we ask that any under 13s are accompanied by an adult.
Racquets and equipment are provided so you can join even if you don't have your own gear. We ask that you wear trainers or equally suitable footwear.
If weather conditions make playing unsafe or unsuitable, sessions may be cancelled. Check via your booking.

The Government has set out plans to reduce carbon on our roads by phasing out the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030. Alongside this, Essex County Council has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 to help tackle climate change. In Essex, around half of all CO2e emissions are from transport and a shift towards electric vehicles is an important part of achieving the net zero goal and improving air quality, alongside the continued work to encourage more sustainable transport options. Essex has already seen a significant increase in the ownership of plug-in vehicles in recent years and there are over 300 registered public charging points. However, as we continue to make this shift, we need to go further, and it is predicted we will need up to 6,000 public charge points across the county by 2030. Essex can lead the way in shifting to safer, greener, healthier travel, but to do so, residents, businesses and visitors need access to a reliable, convenient, accessible and fairly priced network of electric vehicle charging points. Essex County Council’s Electric Vehicle Charge Point Strategy is the first step in making this happen, setting out a simple vision – the Right Charger in the Right Place. Your views on the draft strategy are important and your feedback will help further shape the strategy before it is formally launched.
