About

Established in 1870, Abinger Cricket Club brings together juniors and seniors for friendly yet competitive cricket, complete with the tradition of a proper tea when we host. Come to midweek training and take the field at the weekend.

Abinger Tennis Club was formed after the two hard tennis courts were built in the 1970s. They are used on a regular basis for tennis at different levels, mainly by local residents and their families. Abinger Tennis club continues to flourish with over 90 members and children (under 18). The club is solvent and holds funds to improve the members enjoyment of the facilities.

The Club is situated in an idyllic rural location in the Surrey Hills, ideal for those keen on sport and social lifestyles.

Whether you are a novice or a club player, our club will allow you to play and flourish in a sport that will help with fitness, competition and social interaction. It is one of the few sports where men, women, boys and girls can compete on the same court throughout most of their lives. Tennis rules make our players conform to civility and fair competition in a safe environment.

The Tennis Club is for members only. Members pay a one off annual fee (currently £80.00) and they may play as often as they want (subject to club rules). For families there is a special deal where children under 18 have free membership. During the season between May and September free coaching is available on Thursday evenings. Otherwise our qualified coach, Linzee Proudfoot can take members from novice to club level with regular coaching (and hard work). At present the Club is not affiliated with the LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) but we may re-join in due course.

The courts have recently been repainted and Pickleball lines have been added. We are developing Pickleball as a sport. It is becoming popular and can be played by all ages.

A new website is being developed during 2026 which should enable online booking and disposing of the current system. We expect the website to bring in more interest in the tennis club and also other activities. At present the clubhouse bar is open when cricket is being played. It is also open on Thursday evenings in the summer and throughout the year on Sundays for two hours 12.30-14.30 approximately. The clubhouse is also used for table tennis and for various functions. There are plans to upgrade and make more use of the clubhouse in 2026.

Where you’ll find us

Our clubhouse sits on Felday Road (RH5 6QX) with parking on site and views across the Abinger Hammer cricket pitch below – a classic village setting right off the A25 between Dorking and Guildford.
