Our volunteer Tennis Activators ran their first Barclays Free Park Tennis on behalf of Hatfield Peverel Parish Council on Sun 26th April.

The free sessions will 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.
