Join The Northern Today
FIRST-CLASS FACILITIES
Situated in Didsbury, South Manchester’s most sought-after location, The Northern is a unique members owned club with a rich history.
With world class tennis and squash courts, a well-equipped gym and spacious exercise studio, plus a comfortable lounge bar and deck overlooking the grass courts, The Northern is the perfect place to train, play – or just chill out.
To arrange a tour or join up, call us on 0161 445 3093 or email us at reception@thenorthern.co.uk
A Warm Welcome
It’s easy to make friends at The Northern. Both tennis and squash run a weekly drop-in Club Night – squash has one for Juniors too – as well as box leagues where new members will quickly match up with players of their own standard.
A busy social scene includes regular Quiz Nights, live music events, coffee morning fundraisers and themed parties. In summer, the parties spill out onto the deck while the Lawn Room team get busy behind the barbecue.
Our friendly staff are always on hand to help every new Member make the most of their membership from day one, so anything you need to know – just ask!

“The Club is my sanctuary away from home. For me it’s a place where I’m able to balance mental and physical well-being, along with fun and friendships.”

An Award Winning Club


Our multi-surface courts, grounds and facilities are beautifully maintained and managed year round for our club members by dedicated full time staff.
PERFORMANCE
We have been lucky enough to see the greatest players of their age perform at our club over the years but we don’t live in the past. Our performance programmes in tennis and squash offer talented young racquets players the opportunity to emulate their sporting heroes and we are proud to host international tennis and squash tournaments at our club.
HOW WE ARE RUN
As a private Members’ club (the Northern is a Limited Company) we are run for our Members. The Executive Committee, comprising elected Members, agree the strategic direction of the Club and it is the responsibility of the Chief Executive and Senior Management Team to execute this strategy.
We are committed to preserving this inspiring space as a private members’ club, building upon our proud heritage and achievements in racquet sport and providing modern fitness and leisure facilities for current and future generations to enjoy.
OUR VISION
We aim to be acknowledged as the best rackets club in the North West by investing in first class facilities and delivering unravelled service.
