Whether you’re looking to lift a trophy or just lift a glass with friends—everyone is welcome.
Join us for a day of social padel, casual court lock-ins, street food, and local craft drinks. 100% of proceeds from our charity initiatives go straight to RNLI Lyme Regis.
Serving for a Safer Coastline: RNLI Lyme Regis
Every year, our founding family hosts a special fundraiser to support the heroes at RNLI Lyme Regis. The RNLI’s volunteer crew is on call 24/7, risking everything to save lives at sea along our coastline.
This Big Weekend combines our passion for social sports with our deep gratitude for the RNLI. By joining a tournament, booking a court, or grabbing a drink, you’re directly helping keep our local lifeboats crewed and equipped.
The Big Weekend Tournaments
Teams of 2 | Racket Hire Included | Over £500 in Prizes from Racketworld
Don’t worry about finding the “perfect” partner or knowing every rule—our tournaments are structured to be fast-paced, social, and ultra-fun!
How “Mexicano” Style Works
No knockouts. No waiting around. Equal playing time for everyone!
If you’ve never played a Mexicano tournament before, it’s widely considered the most social and exciting format in padel:
- Balanced Matchups: In Round 1, teams are paired randomly. After each round, the Playtomic algorithm matches you against teams with similar scores.
- Every Point Counts: Matches are played to a set number of total points (e.g., 24 or 32 points total per match). Every single point you win adds to your team’s leaderboard tally.
- Non-Stop Action: You move to new courts, play multiple short matches back-to-back, and get to test your skill against a range of opponents.
- Fair & Fun: Whether you win big or lose a close match, your next game automatically adjusts to give you a competitive, fun rally.
Food, Drinks & Off-Court Atmosphere
You don’t need to compete in a tournament to enjoy the Big Weekend!
- 🍔 Local Food Trucks: Fresh local bites, gourmet street food, and hot drinks.
- 🍺 Craft Bar: Cold pours provided by Salcombe Brewery, Tolchards, and Heineken.
- 🎾 Casual Court Lock-ins & Workshops: Want to try padel for the first time without the tournament pressure? Lock in a court or join one of our drop-in taster workshops.
