On Sunday 20th September, we’re throwing open the gates at Spencer Square Tennis Courts for our Heritage Open Day – and everyone is invited.
📅 Sunday 20th September 2026
⏰ 12noon – 4pm
📍 Spencer Square Tennis Courts, Ramsgate
🎟️ FREE TO COME ALONG
Spencer Square has been part of Ramsgate for generations, and we want to see the courts absolutely buzzing with local people.
We’ve got a brilliant afternoon planned:
🏆 12:00–2:00pm | THE SPENCER GORE FAMILY CUP
We kick things off with something brand new!
8 child and parent combinations will take to the courts and battle it out to become the first ever winners of the Spencer Gore Family Cup.
The competition is named after Spencer Gore, the first ever Wimbledon Men’s Singles Champion, who is buried in Ramsgate
Cemetery and it promises to be a fantastic way to start the afternoon.
Who will be the first family to lift the cup? 🏆
🎾 2:00–3:00pm | FREE TENNIS & PICKLEBALL
Then it’s your turn to get on court!
Come and try tennis or pickleball completely FREE.
Our coaches will be running fun coaching tasters, or you can simply grab a racket and have a play.
Children, adults, complete beginners, people who haven’t played for years – everyone is welcome.
No racket? We’ve got you covered.
Never played before? Even better. Come and have a go!
🔥 3:00–4:00pm | THE BIG EXHIBITION MATCH
Then we finish the afternoon with some seriously good tennis.
EWAN GRIEVE 🆚 COACH JACK
Two epic local players.
Serves topping 100mph+
And some unbelievable tennis.
Ewan returns to Spencer Square to take on our current champion, Coach Jack, in what should be an incredible exhibition match.
If you’ve never watched tennis of this standard from just a few metres away, you’re in for a treat.
Grab a drink from Vincents Coffee Shed, find yourself a good spot and enjoy the match. 🎾
☕ AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO PLAY TENNIS TO COME ALONG!
Pop down for half an hour, stay for the whole afternoon, bring the children, meet some friends, grab something from Vincents Coffee Shed and enjoy one of Ramsgate’s historic sporting spaces.
It’s free. It’s local. And everyone is invited.
Let’s fill Spencer Square. 🎾
