TENNIS courts across Brighton and Hove will offer free coaching and court space, as part of the Great British Tennis Weekend.

Badgers Tennis Club, Pavilion and Avenue Lawn Tennis Club, Sussex County Lawn Tennis Club and Weald Lawn Tennis and Squash Club will all be open to enthusiastic players, regardless of experience.

The venues will be providing rackets and balls, as part of the Lawn Tennis Association and Tennis Foundation’s drive to get more people playing.

Kate Wilson, regional participation manager for the LTA, said: “I hope families take the opportunity to take part in these fantastic events and ready themselves for what is set to be an exciting summer of tennis, as we get behind Andy Murray and the British tennis stars.”
