Half-price junior courts and soft play on offer this summer
30 July 2026 · By Boroughly editorial — AI-assisted, human-reviewed.
Richmond's four leisure centres — in Hampton, Shene, Teddington and Whitton — are running a range of activities through the school holidays, with several discounted options worth knowing about.
Junior court bookings are half-price for young people aged 5 to 15 across badminton, tennis, pickleball, squash and table tennis. The offer requires a junior pay-as-you-go membership and courts can be booked online.
Soft play sessions for children aged 0 to 5 are available on weekdays during the holidays and at weekends year-round. Parents and carers are asked to stay with their children throughout. Sessions can be booked in advance or on a drop-in basis.
Junior gym sessions are open to 11 to 17-year-olds and cost £3.90 with a junior pay-as-you-go casual membership. A free induction is required before the first session — worth booking early as the holidays fill up quickly.
Full details on booking, session times at each centre, and membership options are available via the council's summer leisure page.
