Napthens Supports the Launch of Performance Padel’s New Site at Fulwood

We’re delighted to have worked closely with Performance Padel to enable the opening of its new state-of-the-art padel facility at Caxton Road, Fulwood.

The team and I have worked closely with Performance Padel to secure the site and assist with the lease, development and operational readiness of the new facility.

We believe the work delivered showcases Napthens as top commercial property solicitors in Preston and the North West.

About Performance Padel

Padel – a dynamic, accessible mix of tennis and squash played in doubles on a smaller enclosed court – is experiencing rapid growth in the UK. Fulwood’s padel fans of all ages and abilities will be able to enjoy:

• Four truly world-class indoor padel courts
• A café, licensed bar
• Fully equipped gym
• State-of-the art golf simulator

Napthens Role in the Project

Napthens is proud to be acting for Performance Padel as legal advisers for their upcoming plans for further expansion and this reflects both the commercial potential of padel and the strategic role of well-advised property acquisitions and leases of new up and coming sites.

As a recent convert to padel myself, working with Performance Padel has been particularly rewarding. When a business has a clear vision and growth trajectory, securing the right site is a critical part of turning that ambition into reality. The Caxton Road location reflects a strong current in the leisure market – and we’re excited to help bring it all to life.

Robin Lawson of Performance Padel adds:

“We’re thrilled to have launched the Fulwood centre on 31 October 2025. The demand for padel is  still accelerating and we believe this facility will become a hub for players, families and social groups across the region. Napthens’ expertise in commercial property, and their hands-on support in finding and securing the right site, has been instrumental to us.”

A Growing Leisure Sector Support by Expert Legal Advice

As the new padel centre opens, they welcome members and visitors who can expect high-quality courts, a welcoming environment and opportunities for social play, coaching and corporate or group bookings. Performance Padel’s growth in the region signals both the vibrancy of the leisure sector and the value of expert property advice in enabling new ventures to flourish.

For Napthens, this project demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supporting clients across the leisure, development and commercial property sectors. Our team brings pragmatic, commercially-focused legal services to help ambitious operators realise their potential, with work including:

• Site acquisition
• Lease Negotiation
• Development Planning
• Ongoing Legal Support

We would like to congratulate Robin and Roy, the Performance Padel team and all involved in bringing this project to completion – and we look forward to seeing the facility thrive in the months ahead and advising on additional site roll-outs in the near future.
