Join us for a full day of festive pickleball social play at The West Hants Club, Bournemouth.
Celebrate the festive season with a full day of pickleball at The West Hants Club, played across 12 acrylic courts. Open to intermediate players and above, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy plenty of social play and mix in with lots of different players throughout the day.
Last year’s event was a complete sell-out, so book early to make sure you secure your spot to avoid disappointment!
In partnership with Dorset Pickleball Club and CONVERT Pickleball, you’ll also have the chance to try out the latest paddles from trusted British brand – with exclusive festival offers available on the day.

FESTIVAL FORMAT
Our Christmas pickleball festival is designed for players of all abilities, from intermediate to advanced players to play in a fun and friendly environment. We ask that all attendees have some experience of playing pickleball (understand rules & scoring) as we are unable to accomodate new players at this event.
This is the perfect way to meet new people and play with & against different players outside of your usual pickleball club.
For those who have not attended a Pickleball Festival before, the day will run as follows:
-
You will be allocated a court at our registration desk where you will join 3 other players
-
Games to be played as usual (first to 11 with 1 clear point) before returning to the reception desk to free up the court for the next group of players
-
You can play as much or as little pickleball as you’d like throughout the day!
-
Courts will be arranged based on ability to ensure all attendees have the chance to play competitive matches, as well as mixing in for more social relaxed games
-
Let us know at the reception desk your rating and what type of games you are looking for
If you’d like to play with and/or against people of your choice, simply let us know at the reception desk and we will allocate courts together accordingly. This is a great way to get practise in for upcoming tournaments if you have a specific doubles partner.
ARE YOU A COMPLETE BEGINNER?
This festival is aimed at pickleball players with some experience but, if you’re brand new to pickleball, we have regular sessions for beginners to help you find your feet on the court.
Whether it’s learning the basics or just getting used to holding the paddle, a little practice goes a long way. To book an intro session, email Dorset Pickleball Club at info@dorsetpickleballclub.co.uk.
