Badminton is hugely popular across Manchester and Droylsden Academy is one of the finest facilities available for locals to visit and play a game. One of the most favourable features of badminton is that it is always played indoors which means that it’s possible to play matches for every day of the year. The sport can be enjoyed in singles and doubles and the game lends itself perfectly for mixed matches too. If you’re wanting to see what the sport is all about for the first time, then many of the facilities will rent out rackets and shuttlecocks.

The venue offers free parking spaces for players who want to drive to their game. Please be aware though that these spaces do get filled up quickly during peak times so be sure to arrive as early as possible.

Pay as you play is the system in operation here. This means sports players don’t have to make a financial commitment for the month or year. It also allows players to get a feel for a sports venue before looking to book more regular games.

Block booking is an option at Droylsden Academy and is a great way to ensure a game every single week. This is perfect for any teams or individuals that are looking to book regular training sessions or use the venue as their home ground. Availability does vary but the Playfinder team will do their very best to get you booked in at a time best suited to you or your team. The standard length of block booking is 10 weeks and payment is usually required in advance. However, this can sometimes vary depending on your specific requirements so please do get in touch if you would like to know more.

There are well maintained changing rooms at the venue for use upon arrival. This is perfect for those heading to their session straight after work in the evenings or during their lunch break, making the transition from work to play that much easier.

If you’d rather travel to the venue via public transport the nearest station is Ardwick. The short walk makes it easy to get to the facility without the worry of finding a parking space and acts as a gentle warm-up before your session.
