The Brighton Racqueters is a friendly badminton club located in Brighton, East Sussex. Established in 2021, our club was formed following the closure of the Brighton Virgin active gym, and we are now based at the University of Sussex. We are a dedicated group of badminton enthusiasts who enjoy playing the sport socially and competitively.
At Brighton Racqueters, we offer regular Saturday social sessions and mid-week sessions for our members to come together and enjoy the sport. We also have teams in the Mid-Sussex Leagues, including mixed, men's, ladies, and fusion teams. Our club is currently welcoming new adult players over the age of 18 who have experience playing badminton at a club level. If you're interested in playing with us, please check out our Joining Info and get in touch!
Our Saturday social sessions take place at the University of Sussex from 12-3pm, and the fee for each three-hour session is 9 (20 annual member fee for regulars, with guests welcome for two sessions). We also have a club night for those who wish to play in teams or local leagues, which takes place for two hours on either Tuesday or Monday evenings, with a fee of 8.
We always love meeting enthusiastic badminton players and welcome new adult members who have played regularly at a club level. It is ideal if you have participated in local league matches. However, we regret that we do not currently have sufficient court space or coaching to support beginners or less experienced players. If you are a beginner, we can provide you with contacts in the local area to help you find a place to learn and get started.
If you're interested in playing badminton with us, please drop us a message via the contact form, providing some background information on your experience and playing level. Our Membership Secretary will then be in touch to get you involved in a session.
If you have any questions or are interested in joining our club, please get in touch via the contact form.
At Brighton Racqueters, we believe in building a strong sense of community within our club. We organise regular social events for all of our members to come together and have fun off the court.
One of our most popular events is the Cheese and Wine evening, which takes place in November 2023. It is a sophisticated evening where members can sample the finest wines available while indulging in delicious cheese. The event is always a great success, with dancing going on till the early hours of the morning.
Another event to look forward to is our Summer Tournament, which takes place in July 2023. It is our first-ever tournament, and we are excited to bring our members together for some friendly competition and fun.
All members are welcome to our social events, and we encourage everyone to join us for a night of laughter, camaraderie, and good food and drink.
