Chalk & Padel is a rural indoor padel club being developed at Thorneydown Farm on the A354, between Salisbury and Blandford. Described as Dorset’s first rural indoor padel club, it aims to offer a welcoming place to play, socialise and recharge throughout the year. Its indoor courts are designed for both newcomers and experienced players, with coaching and memberships among the offerings. The club is also inviting people to join as founding members, with places promoted for the first 50 members and benefits including a locked-in rate.

Alongside padel, Chalk & Padel plans to welcome visitors to Aroha Coffee, a New Zealand-inspired café shaped by the founders’ Kiwi-UK story and focused on specialty coffee and connection. The broader vision is a countryside hub for movement, wellbeing and friendship, where sport and relaxed social moments come together. Located at Thorneydown Farm, Woodcutts, the site offers parking and is scheduled to open in 2026. Visitors can sign up for updates and early access or contact the team by email.
