Two ways to hire the venue

Exclusive hire closes the centre for the day and hands you the whole site. Non-exclusive court hire gives you the courts you need while coaching, social play and the bar carry on around you. What separates them is public access, not the size of the job.

How we Price it

Closing the centre costs us a day's trading.

Exclusive hire is priced to cover what the venue stops earning while it's shut. Coaching, court hire, social sessions and the bar all stop for the day. Court hire works the same way at a smaller scale: you pay for the courts by the hour, plus the earnings lost on any coaching, classes or other bookings we have to cancel to fit you in. We'll price that up with you before anything is locked in.

Tell us the date and we'll check it.

Notice we need

Bookings run any day of the week, subject to availability. Exclusive hire needs the most notice, because it means clearing everything else booked in that day, so ask as early as you can.

What to tell us

Your dates and call times, how many courts you need, and roughly how many people will be on site.
If there's anything unusual in the plan, say so on the enquiry. It's easier to work out up front than on the day.

The coaches make it a very social, fun learning environment. They are improving and look forward to seeing all the friendly and welcoming staff at the courts.

Things people ask about.

Every tennis and pickleball court, the licensed bar and café, our 52sqm studio with its screen and projector, and the indoor and shaded areas. The centre is closed to the public for the day, so the only people on site are yours.

Yes. Court hire is $100 per court, per hour, and the centre carries on around you. Coaching, social play and the bar all keep running, so it suits a smaller activation rather than anything that needs a controlled background.

Full venue hire is priced as a full day.

Court hire is charged by the hour, per court.

It covers the coaching sessions or classes we have to cancel to free up the courts you've booked. It only applies where something already in the diary has to move.

We'll work out what it comes to with you before anything is locked in.

Ask us when you enquire and we'll confirm everything in writing before a date is held.

EPTC branding and a small number of sponsor banners are displayed around the venue. We can take them down if you'd prefer a cleaner, brand-neutral look. Large banners are $300 each and small ones $150 each, with an extra $100 per banner if the removal has to happen on a Sunday. You're also welcome to remove and replace them yourself.

Our 52sqm multi-purpose studio has a large screen and projector, a full-length wall mirror and doors opening straight onto the courts. It's included with full venue hire, or $100 per hour non-exclusive alongside court hire.

Tell us what you're bringing and how much of it, and we'll sort out access and unloading with you.

Put your power requirements on the enquiry and we'll confirm what's available and what you'd need to bring.

Yes. The courts are lit and bookings run into the evening. Which courts are lit, and how late they can stay on, to be confirmed.

Ask us before you plan a drone shot so we can check what's involved.

Outside catering is welcome and we can suggest local suppliers if that's useful. EPTC doesn't cater in-house. Tell us who's coming on site and what they're bringing when you enquire.

Tell us who's coming on site and what they're doing, and we'll let you know what we need from you before the day.

Ask us early if your shoot needs one. It's easier to sort out before a date is locked in than after.

There are undercover and shaded areas either way. If the temperature climbs too high, or the rain gets heavy enough to make the courts unplayable, we'll reschedule at no charge. See our weather policy for the details.

Ask us. Send the dates you're working to and we'll tell you what's already in the diary and what we can do.
