Overview
New Forest | 27 February – 1 March 2026
From £475pp

Enjoy our premium pickleball miniscape at the UK’s leading indoor pickleball club, PicklePad.

PicklePad is located in Mudeford, just outside of Christchurch and was the first indoor club in the UK to combine an offering of pickleball and padel. Run by Tania Smeda and Karen Smith, PicklePad has provided both sports with an amazing platform to grow in the South West region.

Accommodation – We’ve selected The Harbour Hotel as our ‘base’ for this escape. With a fantastic view and plenty of amenities, it will serve as a great location to hang out following a couple of days of pickleball! A 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk to the venue offers guests flexibility.

Board – This escape is bed & breakfast.

Pickleball – PicklePad has 4 dedicated pickleball courts, on a beautiful acrylic surface. Across the miniscape, you can expect a combination of coaching sessions, social play and a fun tournament – plenty to be excited about!

Itinerary
Day 1

Enjoy a Dinks and Drinks session alongside some local players on Friday afternoon before heading over to the Harbour Hotel and checking in. This is a great opportunity to hit some balls and get used to the surface, as well as meet all of your fellow escapees for the weekend! It is also where you will meet your coach for your escape and be able to discuss what you might like to get out of the weekend, and where the coach gets to see you play… no pressure!

Day 2

Fuel up with breakfast at the Hotel before heading over to PicklePad for a full day of pickleball coaching. Our first session will be 10am-12pm, followed by a light lunch at the club, and then it’s straight back to the courts for another 1-3pm session in the afternoon. We’ll all head back to the Hotel after the second training session and have a team dinner in the evening.

Day 3

Our last day together… already! After breakfast and checking out of the hotel, we’ll make our way over to PicklePad for another morning training session, combining some drills and some coached play. A light lunch will again be provided after the morning session, before we hit the courts for a fun tournament in the afternoon where you can show us all the skills you’ve learned! We will have a prize ceremony shortly after the tournament before we say our goodbyes!

From the court to you
"The setup is hard to beat. Courts were 30 seconds from my apartment door, resort was class, and loads to do nearby if you wanted a break from the courts. Everything ran smooth from start to finish. Fair play to Bex for keeping it all ticking - huge undertaking with front of house, comms, being flexible and adding that personal touch. Will 100% be back for another one."
Peter
"Just recently back from my first SB pickleball break and as a novice player and I was really thrilled at how inclusive the coaching was. My confidence has improved massively and I have met such a wonderful group of people on this trip. Everything was first class from the coaching, the resort, the food and the beautiful weather. Would have no hesitation to recommend SB pickleball to anyone who is considering a pickleball break in the future."

"I had the most wonderful time at my SB Pickleball Escape holiday last weekend in the New Forest. It sure didn't disappoint if not exceed my expectations. I finished the weekend feeling absolutely buzzing and excited to put everything we learned into practise in my next session."
