*The Dome is a members club that welcomes new players
and members of the public new to the sport of badminton.
With some of the best quality courts in the South of England,
The Dome is proud to offer six nationally rated, sprung maple courts that 
are there to give you an exceptional playing experience and
be more gentle on your joints so you can play for longer. 

Your first entry to the club is complimentary (court fee still applies)
and subsequent visits incur a visitor's fee of £3 or you can take out an
​annual membership for £21.

depending on what sizes we have available at the time)
