When you arrive and enter the car park, you’ll see The Range, the L-shape building on your right next to Racquet Garden — it’s the old golf clubhouse for those who remember.
If you’re visiting The Bat Barn, continue up the road alongside The Range and you’ll find it on the left.
A calm and welcoming setting designed for movement, wellbeing, and connection. Surrounded by nature to help you fully switch off and focus on your practice.
