Home / The Court Yard The Depot, Weedon Bec

The Court Yard

The home of West Northamptonshire Pickleball. More than two courts, this is where our community comes together to play, relax, learn and spend time together.

Why it's different

A dedicated venue for WNP activities

Every inch of The Court Yard is built around pickleball — proper court markings, dedicated nets, room to sit and watch, and The Kitchen right here too. It's not shared with badminton or five-a-side. It's ours.

We're a little tucked away, so here's exactly how to find us:

  1. Enter through the Depot's main gates.
  2. Keep to the right-hand side as you drive in — you'll have water on your left.
  3. Drive up to Unit 3 and turn right just before the building.
  4. Look for the external staircase and a black circle marked “15” in white.
  5. Head up the stairs — that's us.
