The Kitchen | West Northants Pickleball

Welcome to The Kitchen
at The Court Yard

Because the best parties always end up in The Kitchen!

What was once an underused terrace at The Court Yard has been transformed into The Kitchen – a unique workshop and experience space located right in the heart of West Northamptonshire Pickleball.

Inspired by one of the most famous areas in pickleball, The Kitchen has been created as a place where people can gather, create, learn and have fun together.

Whether you're making chocolate truffles, arranging flowers, getting creative with arts and crafts, enjoying a pizza-making evening or simply spending time with friends, The Kitchen is designed to bring people together through shared experiences.

Unlike traditional workshop venues, The Kitchen sits alongside our indoor pickleball courts, creating a truly unique environment where food, creativity, community and sport come together under one roof.

🍫 Make chocolate truffles

🌸 Try flower arranging

🎨 Enjoy arts and crafts workshops

🍕 Join food and pizza-making experiences

☕ Meet friends over coffee and conversation

🏓 Enjoy pickleball before, during or after selected events

At the centre of The Kitchen is a large workshop island where guests can gather, learn new skills and enjoy a relaxed social atmosphere. During selected experiences, participants may also have the opportunity to enjoy social pickleball activities while creations chill, set or dry.

The first experience to launch from The Kitchen is our signature chocolate workshop, The Truffle Shuffle, where guests create approximately 12 handmade chocolate truffles using premium ingredients, exciting flavour combinations and professional techniques.

But this is just the beginning. Over time, The Kitchen will become home to a growing programme of creative, social and food-based experiences for all ages and interests.

Because at The Court Yard, the community doesn't stop at the courts.

It continues in The Kitchen.
