Craven Lawn Tennis Club caters to both social and competitive tennis players, offering four grass courts and three all-weather courts for year-round play. The club also features a croquet section that is active during the summer months.
If you’re seeking competition, the club boasts three mixed doubles teams that compete in divisions 2 and 3 of the Wharfedale League. The men's doubles teams participate in the Bradford and District Association League, while the ladies' doubles team—recently promoted to the first division—also competes in the Bradford and District Association League. This allows members to easily find the right level of competitive play to suit their abilities and ambitions.
Those interested in returning to tennis or simply meeting new people can join our social tennis sessions, which are held all year—weather permitting—on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday mornings. Social tennis also takes place on Monday evenings throughout the year, made possible by our two floodlit courts.
Croquet enthusiasts gather on Tuesday afternoons during the summer months.
Non-members are invited to experience the club by joining our friendly social tennis sessions on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings at any time of the year. Rackets and balls are provided for newcomers, and there’s no need to book in advance—just turn up and join in! It’s a great way to get active, meet new friends, and enjoy the welcoming community atmosphere that Craven Lawn Tennis Club is known for.
