Jesmond Dene Real Tennis Club is one of only 25 Real Tennis courts in the UK and 45 in the world.  Built in 1894, the court is situated on Matthew Bank between Jesmond and South Gosforth and is only a few miles from the centre of Newcastle. If you would like to come and try the game you will be made very welcome. Club rackets are available to beginners and introductory lessons will be arranged.

Who should try Real Tennis

• Retired squash players find the game less strenuous, but equally satisfying and enjoy the tactical nature of matches.
• Cricketers and golfers should play in the winter to keep their eye in.
• Anyone with a desire to play a game competitively or for fun.
• Students - Newcastle, Northumbria & Durham Universities play regularly.
• Children as young as 9 can play, although for some the racket is too heavy. Around 10-12 years-old would be the best age to start playing.Every summer we hold junior coaching weeks during the summer holidays.
