Finding a venue to play at

The venue directory lists places you can play badminton: sports halls, leisure centres, and club venues, with courts, session times, typical costs, and how to get in touch. You don't need an account to browse it.

Searching the directory

  1. Go to Venues.
  2. Enter your postcode and pick a radius to see venues near you, ordered by distance. You can also filter by county or search by a venue's name or town.
  3. Each result shows the court count, the cheapest listed prices (such as "Pay and play from £5.00"), which days have regular sessions, and how many clubs play there.
  4. Switch between List and Map above the results. The map plots every venue in your search: select a pin to see the venue's name and courts, then follow its link to the full page. Nearby venues group into a numbered circle; select the circle to zoom in. Use the expand button in the map's corner to view it full screen (press Escape or the button again to exit).
  5. Select a venue to see its full page.

What's on a venue page

  • Costs - structured prices for court hire, pay and play, guest fees, and memberships, each with a "verified" date so you know how fresh it is.
  • Regular sessions - adult and open sessions grouped by day, with times, standards, and prices where known.
  • Clubs that play here - clubs on Badminton Clubhouse linked to the venue, with a link to each club's page. Details that come straight from a club's own live listing carry a Verified: live club data badge.
  • Location - address, postcode, what3words, and directions.

Some venue pages carry a currently closed notice: the venue is temporarily out of action (refurbishment, for example), often with the date it closed and when it's expected to reopen.

Tip: A fact marked "may be out of date" hasn't been confirmed for a while. If you know it's still right, you can confirm it in one tap.

Helping keep the directory accurate

Anyone with a free account can help:

  • Still accurate? - if a price or session you know is correct shows an older verified date, tap Still accurate next to it. That refreshes the date for everyone.
  • Suggest an edit - use Suggest an edit on any venue page to fix details, add costs or sessions, or report something that's changed. A person reviews every suggestion before it appears, so nothing goes live unchecked.

You'll need to be signed in for either. Creating an account is free: it's the same account you'd use to join a club.

Note: Please only ever add a venue's public contact details (a reception desk number or bookings email), never someone's personal number.

Is your club missing?

If your club plays at a venue and isn't listed on its page, the club needs a published public page on Badminton Clubhouse. See Setting up your club, or use the Is your club here? link on any venue page.
