History and facilities
Sandal Lawn Tennis Club was founded in 1885 and sits close to the historic Sandal Castle in Wakefield. Originally a grass-court club, Sandal now has six newly refurbished all-weather courts, all fitted with new LED floodlights.
At the heart of the club is a well-equipped pavilion with a kitchen, lounge area and toilet facilities, alongside changing rooms recently refurbished to an exceptional standard — handy if you like a game before or after work. There is ample parking, and the club is a stone’s throw from the major roads into Wakefield and five minutes from the M1.
Our aim is simple: to encourage anyone, of any age, ability or background, to come and try tennis here. Come down, look round, and join a social session free of charge.
We pride ourselves on being a proper members’ club — run by members, for members. As a registered Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) we welcome donations towards the upkeep and improvement of our facilities.
Our Committee
The club is run entirely by volunteers — a friendly team who give their time to keep Sandal thriving. If you have a question, please get in touch via the Contact page and we’ll point you to the right person.
