En Masse Tennis Lesson

En Masse Tennis Lesson 

Participate in a raucous game of casual sport with a crowd of like-minded enthusiasts and novices. Learn the rules of ‘Real Tennis’, which was reportedly first played in the renaissance period by King Henry Tudor and his court. Known as "The sport of kings", Real Tennis is the original racquet game from which modern tennis is derived.

Blurring the boundaries between athleticism, social exchange and play, this mad-cap adventure will be the highlight of your visit to the exhibition! Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. No prior experience of tennis is required. All equipment will be provided. 

Limited bookings are available in advance. A small number of walk-in places will also be retained, so do try your luck!

For enquiries on the night, please visit the Interspecies Hub at the St. Hellier St. entrance.
