Bristol SU recognises that the costs of participating in student groups can be prohibitively expensive for some students. The Activity Hardship Fund was created to support those students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to the cost.
Welcome to the University of Bristol’s newest and fastest-growing racket sport!
Pickleball is a dynamic, fast-paced game that seamlessly blends elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. Played on a compact court, it is incredibly easy to pick up, yet offers exciting strategic depth as you progress.
Our community is proudly open to absolutely all skill levels, so whether you have never held a paddle or are a seasoned competitor, we warmly invite you to join us on the court for a session.
