Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends

It's back and bigger than ever! The Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekend is heading to a venue near you, offering a FREE day for all the family to get on court. At 15 venues across Leicestershire there are Mini Tennis sessions, family time, free play, Cardio Tennis and numerous other kinds of activities to get involved in. Rackets and balls will be provided, so whether you've never picked up a racket before or you're a seasoned regular – there something for everyone!

Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends is an initiative to help tennis venues attract new people from the local community to come and try out your venue at fun and welcoming open days.

We coordinate a country-wide marketing campaign to raise awareness of the Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends, particularly encouraging families to try tennis for free. This alongside free marketing materials to help your club promote the open day locally can significantly help you to raise awareness of your tennis club in the wider community.

Each year over a thousand venues sign-up to run Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends with over 55,000 people coming along to experience their local tennis club; but most importantly 44% of these attendees decide to join the club and play tennis more regularly following their experience. As a result, many venues run more than one Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends event each year to capitalise on the positive impact they have in attracting new members and new players onto the coaching programme.

Dates and sign-up

Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends open days can take place at any point throughout the year from May onwards, and venues can run as many open days as they wish (the more the better!). Venues with outdoor courts typically have the most success in running their Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends open days during the spring and summer months, but for venues with indoor courts there is no need to be limited to just this period!
