"Edgbaston Priory Club has always had some of the best grass courts in the country. I practice here when I am at home. It's a really good club."
Dan Evans, Former British No.1 & Edgbaston Priory Club Professional Associate
Birmingham's
Most Complete Tennis Club
Founded in 1875, pre-dating Wimbledon as a tournament venue, Edgbaston Priory Club has shaped the history of lawn tennis and continues to set the standard for tennis in Birmingham today.
We hold LTA High Performance Centre designation, host the WTA Rothesay Classic, and run an LTA Regional Player Development Centre for junior players. Our professional associates include Dan Evans, British No.2, and Lloyd Glasspool, World No.12 doubles player, both of whom have trained here and utilised our world class facilities.
But Edgbaston Priory isn't only for the elite. Across 3,000 active members, most come to compete socially, learn a new skill, get fitter, or find a community. Whatever your level, this is where you come to play tennis in Birmingham properly.
31 Courts.
Every Surface. All Year.
Most clubs offer one surface. At Edgbaston Priory Club we offer four tennis court surfaces, the same four used at the Grand Slams. This means you can practice on the surface that suits your game, or mix it up to become a better all-round player.
Our Tennis Courts
31 tennis courts across four Grand Slam surfaces are available year-round at Edgbaston Priory Club, with indoor and outdoor courts bookable seven days a week. Members and guests also benefit from racket and ball hire, free parking, changing rooms and showers.

Training that gets results
I joined the Club to explore squash, swimming and gym sessions to get fitter. Israar helped me build confidence with free weights, always working at my pace. In 4 months, we’ve achieved amazing results and I’ve lost 6kg.

Simply exceptional
My parents met in the Priory bar in 1958 and our family has been members since 1875, now into the sixth generation. We benefit from the foresight of those who shaped the club over 150 years, making it an oasis in Edgbaston. No other city in Britain matches what we have here.
