Return to the Court campaign
Our ‘Return to the Court’ campaign aims to help get you back on the tennis court this summer. If you attend six or more Parktennis sessions before the end of August, you can choose to receive one of the following (subject to availability):
- One month of free tennis coaching with Cambridge Tennis Academy
- A £15 Decathlon voucher for tennis equipment
- Reduced entry fee into the Cambridge Tennis League (pay £8 instead of £18)
To qualify for this offer you must live in Cambridge, be aged 16 or over, and have not attended a Parktennis session in the six months prior to June. You’ll also need to complete a Let’s Get Moving Cambridgeshire monitoring form.
