“The Great British Tennis Weekend is a great way to see what your local club has to offer. Rackets and balls will be provided, so whether you’ve never picked up a racket before or you’re a seasoned regular – there is fun to be had.
“This year we’re also offering a month free trial membership which allows access to the courts and club sessions throughout the week until 25th August.”
