❓Did you know we run a sliding ticket system across all our Active Hastings sessions, to help everyone stay active by assuring all our sessions are affordable and accessible. The system allows you to choose a ticket price based on what you can afford, it gives you the opportunity to choose from three ticket options:

🔵£3: Suggested ticket price (to support the running costs of the class and to keep the session going)
🔵 £2: A little helping hand (don't let cost be a barrier, have a lower price ticket if you need to)
🔵Free ticket: Need it on us (for people on low income and benefits).

This scheme has been made possible with thanks to funding from the Hastings & St Leonards Primary Care Network, the Levelling Up Fund, East Sussex County Council Public Health and Active Sussex.

🎾Do you want to give tennis a go, without the commitment of having to buy equipment? Then we’ve got you covered with our new Community Tennis Racket Loan Programme.

We want everyone in Hastings to enjoy our award-winning courts, even if you don't own equipment. To use the shared pre-loved tennis rackets at Alexandra Park, simply book Court 5 or 6 (where the tennis racket box is located), and after your game, return the rackets to the box for the next players to use. It’s a great way to stay active for less while supporting our new sustainable initiative.

All you need to bring is a tennis ball.

Our community tennis racket loan programme works on a trust basis, and we hope everyone who uses the rackets returns them in good condition for the next players. This scheme will be trialled and if successful will continue throughout 2026.

👉Court hire is £5.50 per court per hour, or you can buy a household membership (up to 5 people) for £39 for the year! Book your court here: https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/AlexandraParkHastings
