Is lunch provided?

Lunch is not included, but Brasserie Blanc in the main hotel is open to exhibitors and visitors.

Can I bring children?

Yes. The expo is family friendly. One thing to know: there are no courts at the venue, so it is a show to browse and talk padel, not somewhere to pick up a racket and hit.

Is the venue accessible?

Yes. Both suites are on the ground floor with step-free access throughout.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, please book through Eventbrite. Early-bird tickets are £5 until 30 November 2026 and prices rise on 1 December, so we would advise booking now.

Is there anywhere to try padel on the day?

No. There are no courts at the venue. The expo is about meeting the brands, coaches and clubs; many of them can point you to local courts and taster sessions.

Is the event indoors?

Yes, fully indoors across two suites at the Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott.

Is it suitable for complete beginners?

Absolutely. If you have never picked up a padel racket, this is the place to find out where to start. A lot of the day is aimed at people new to the game.

Will there be food and drink?

Brasserie Blanc in the hotel is open to visitors for lunch and drinks, and some exhibitors will have samples on their stands. Please do not bring outside food into the venue.

Can I get a refund if I cannot make it?

No. Tickets are non-refundable. You are welcome to pass your ticket on to someone else.

Is photography allowed? Will I be photographed?

Yes on both counts. Feel free to take photos. We will also have a photographer and videographer capturing the day for the website and social media. If you would rather not appear, tell a member of the team on the day or email us within 7 days of the event and we will make sure you are not included. After that we will still remove images on request, but they may already have been published. See our privacy policy.
