Welcome to the Big Tennis Weekend

Tennis for free, the grassroots sports charity, will be hosting the ‘Big Tennis Weekend’ across parks in the UK on Saturday 23 and Sunday 24 March, 2019.

The “Big Tennis Weekend” will be taking place at Dawson Park on Saturday 23 March 2019 from 11.00am – 12.30pm as part of this national campaign.

Tennis for Free currently operate on 87 parks around the whole of the UK with plans to open many more in 2019. By hosting the Big Tennis weekend, we are reaching out to all communities to come and give us a try. We work with local councils, community groups and the LTA to make sure we reach those that otherwise wouldn’t get the opportunity to play.

All the sessions are coach led and suitable for the whole family aged from 3 years plus. And, with each session combining a different mixture of fun drills, mass participation games and free play every week. You can learn new skills, develop your tennis, have lots of fun and use the opportunity to spend time and get active together with family and friends old and new. 

Finally, you don’t even need to bring any equipment, it is all provided, it doesn’t matter if you have never played before, it’s all about getting together, having fun and building tennis communities right across the country.

Speaking about the weekend, Tennis for free chairman Patrick Hollwey said

“The Big Tennis Weekend is all about getting people from right across their community out into their parks and having fun, making new friends and hitting lots of balls, giving people the opportunity to mix together, get some exercise and use their park facilities all for free, let’s make this into the biggest weekend of parks tennis this country has ever seen!”

Come down and join us at Dawson Park to see what it’s all about!
