Wellington Squash and Racketball Club

The Wellington Squash and Racketball Club sits in a quiet corner of Somerset, just outside Taunton, and it's the sort of place you'd only stumble upon if you actually play. This isn't a tourist attraction in the traditional sense - it's a proper working sports club with courts, facilities, and a membership-focused community that's been serving the area for years.

If you're a squash or racketball player, it's worth checking out before you arrive. Ring ahead to ask about day passes or guest rates - most clubs will sort you out if you've got your own kit and a bit of experience. The courts are well-maintained, and you'll find a mix of serious players and casual enthusiasts. Expect to pay a modest fee for a court hire, though exact prices aren't confirmed online.

For families staying nearby - Waterrow Touring Park is just five and a half miles away - this works best if someone in the group actually wants to play rather than watch. Kids won't find much to occupy them while you're on court. Allow an hour for a match plus time in the bar if there is one.

Honestly, unless you're actively into squash or racketball, there's not much reason to make a special trip. But if you are? It's a solid local facility that welcomes visitors. Worth ringing Taunton's tourist information for current details on opening hours and guest policies before you go.
