Plans revealed for £1.5m padel centre at historic Nottingham site

A former bus depot in Nottingham city centre could be turned into a new padel centre.

Pure Padel wants to turn the historic building on Iremonger Road, next to Notts County’s Meadow Lane stadium, into a new venue for a sport that is rapidly gaining popularity.

Posting on social media, Hayden Small, the national acquisition director for Pure Padel Clubs, said: “We’ve managed to secure the former bus depot in central Nottingham with plans to convert into a stunning padel centre.

“A fabulous looking building constructed in the 1920s, the space will accommodate seven courts with generous food and beverage space overlooking the Nottingham Canal.

“We’re currently working closely with Nottingham City Council to deliver the scheme and simply can’t wait to spend our £1.5m investment to transform this iconic building.”

Pure Padel is based in Manchester and has ambitions to open 30 clubs across the UK within five years. It currently has venues in Aldereley Park, Manchester, Moor Allerton, Lightwater and will soon be opening in Solihull, Darlington and Stockport.
