Outdoor Tennis

**Welcome to TennisCrew! 🎾** **We’re a relaxed, social tennis group focused on good vibes, community, and making sure everyone actually gets plenty of time to play.** **We intentionally keep our numbers low across our courts so you won't be standing around crowded sidelines.** **(Please note our event is also on Sportas. So numbers here may not accurately reflect the event. Thank you.)** **https://sportas.co.uk/games/48684** **Who is this for?** **Everyone!** **We have two courts booked, so we will split them by experience level to keep the games balanced:** **Court 1 (Beginners): Perfect if you are newer to the game or just getting back into it. If you don't know the rules or how to score doubles, no worries at all, the event lead is very happy to explain!** **Court 2 (Intermediate/Advanced): For players looking for consistent rallies, solid serving, and a faster pace.** **🎒 Equipment We provide all the tennis balls! Please try to bring your own racket, as we only have a very limited number of spares to lend out.** **🍻 The Social** **The best part of social tennis is the social! After we wrap up on the courts, we’ll head over to The Cambria for a well earned chat and a drink. It’s completely relaxed and there is absolutely no pressure to drink alcohol. Just come along for the community vibes and meet some great people.** **Can't wait to see you on the court!**

We begin with a stretch along the **River Arun**, before heading into **Arundel Park**, a landscaped estate of woodland, rolling meadows and **Swanbourne Lake**, crowned by the striking **Hiorne Tower**, an extravagant Gothic folly built in 1787 by the Duke of Norfolk. From its commanding hilltop position we enjoy sweeping views across the chalk downs to the distant sea. Midway, we pause at a traditional riverside pub — a chance for a quick drink in a peaceful setting before continuing on. From here the trail rejoins the **River Arun**, where we follow its picturesque bends with **ever-closer views of Arundel Castle** looming above the town. Founded in 1067 as a Norman motte-and-bailey, the castle has grown into one of England’s grandest stately homes, still inhabited by the Dukes of Norfolk after more than 400 years. Our finale is in the historic town of **Arundel**, where the castle dominates the skyline and the French Gothic **Arundel Cathedral** rises just beyond.
