Each talented, each different, but all valued, is our ethos at Halton, where we pride ourselves in welcoming everyone and living the idea that 'no one cares how much you know until they know how much you care'
"Whenever you visit Halton Tennis Club you are always given a warm
welcome, the acknowledgment from the volunteers and coaches is always
consistent, there's always a welcome and a smile."
Matt James, Head of Performance & Growth, LTA (March 2011)
We offer all the benefits of a large commercial tennis centre, set in a tranquil area with superb facilities:
All of this in a small, friendly club setting - a true members club. View our Club video below to see more.
In addition, we are probably the most family friendly club in the country - so while the kids enjoy a lesson or game of tennis with their friends, you can relax with a coffee and newspaper in our lovely Rothschild Clubhouse. Whether you want to stretch yourself at a competitive level, escape from the winter weather with some indoor tennis, or visit to use the gym or meet friends for lunch, Halton is a great place to stay fit and healthy. Get in touch for more information or to request a brochure. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
DISABILITY TENNIS
We're making it easier to enjoy tennis for those with disabilities such as wheelchair users, MS sufferers and the visually impaired or deaf. In April we delivered a number of tennis sessions at Stoke Mandeville as part of the drive to raise awareness for the Para Olympics in the local community as well as coaching tennis at the UK Inter Spinal Unit Games, and will be continuing throughout 2011/2012, involving all our young players at Halton.
Alex Barnes, our Head Disability Coach, is working at Alfriston girls special needs school in Beaconsfield every Wednesday delivering fun tennis coaching to girls age 10-15.
"An extremely enormous THANK YOU for coming along to Alfriston last term. As you're probably aware the girls absolutely loved your sessions, enthusiasum and energy. It was an all win situation, as we all learnt so much, and cannot thank you for committing your time to Alfriston School. I do hope you will be able to join us again in our next academic year. " - Denise Knibbs, Alfriston School

THE PAVILION
At the heart of our lovely old Rothschild clubhouse is The Pavilion, an excellent venue to enjoy some great food from our delicious menu, prepared by our own chef, Steve Barnes, or just relax with a coffee and paper with your friends. Have a look at our typical menus:

The Tennis Centre makes a great venue for birthday parties, weddings and special occasions. Available for hire on Saturday nights throughout the year or at other times with sufficient notice. Holds up to 100 people in the winter, and more in summer, making use of the verandah and patio area. Alternatively, why not erect a marque in the grounds and have the Rothschilds Pavilion as a backdrop.
Basic room hire starts at £175 and increases to £1000 for the positioning of a marquee. There is a full choice of menus, both cold buffet and formal sit down dinner. Please call Julia on 01296 623453 to discuss your requirements, or alternatively email her at pavilion@everyball.net.
