FOUR Edinburgh tennis clubs open their doors to the public this month as part of Lawn Tennis Association’s Nature Valley Big Tennis Weekends, a series of free tennis events that take place at tennis clubs across the UK.

Tennis is often thought of as a seasonal summer sport, but with the vast number of all-weather and indoor facilities available in the Capital, the weekend will showcase why tennis is the sport you should be playing all year round.

The free family events welcome people of all ages and all abilities, whether you haven’t picked up a racket before or want to reignite an old flame and start playing again.
