Who’s behind it
Local brands, front and centre
Padel Dorset Expo is organised by Padel Dorado, a Dorset-based padel business. We built it to give the brands growing padel on our doorstep a room full of the right people: the court builders, coaches, clubs, racket and apparel makers you may not have heard of yet, alongside the names you have.
If you are a local padel business, this is your show. Come and be discovered.
