You don’t need a racquet or a ball as all equipment is provided free of charge.

Local tennis coach and lead site organiser Adam Field, an ex-Great Britain wheelchair tennis player said: “We are all very excited to welcome Tennis For Free to Egerton Park.

“It is a fantastic opportunity for all members of the local community to get into the spirit of trying tennis for either the first time or to dust off the cobwebs and try again.

“The courts look great, the good weather is finally here, and we look forward to welcoming local people to the free sessions.

“You can bring your own racquet if you wish, but don’t worry all equipment is provided and as the name suggests, everything is free!”

Tennis For Free is a registered charity founded by comedian Tony Hawks and fashion executive Patrick Hollwey.
