2023 Diary



This page is an overview showing the tournaments, home matches and other events for the season. Members should refer to the Court Booking System (CBS) for up-to-date information because matches arranged during the season will not appear here unless the dates have been notified in advance - bookings made on the CBS are not automatically transferred to the Diary, which is updated manually. Note that the Diary does not show regular bookings made using the CBS (e.g. U3A, GC roll up).The link to the CBS is on the Lawn booking page.

CA tournaments and courses are listed in more detail on the Wrest Park page on the CA website - go to Play - Clubs - Club Details.

English Heritage events:  If stewards are sending visitors along the track past the pavilion then you should use the visitor car park. If there is a tournament on the same day EH should be notified in advance, as they may allow parking next to the pavilion depending on which route to the visitor car park is being used.
