MVP x MOVEMBER NORTHUMBRIA PRESENT: PADEL TOURNAMENT // TUES 17TH NOV // WIN A PADEL HOLIDAY

Join us at the brand new Project Padel (Silverlink), on Tuesday 17 November 2026 for a charity Padel tournament supporting Movember.

We’re looking for 32 pairs (64 players in total). Choose a two-hour qualifying session when booking. You do not need to stay all day, but qualifying teams must be available to return for the headline finals that evening if they progress through. 

Tickets

£20 per player

Each player must purchase a ticket for the same qualifying session as their partner (or purchase for them). 

£5 from every ticket will be donated to Movember, and the rest covers the cost of the event. 

Qualifying sessions

Choose one session when booking: 

• 9am–11am: Morning Qualifier

• 3pm–5pm: Final Qualifier

Each session includes:

• 8 teams split into two groups of four
• Three guaranteed matches for every team
• Matches played across four courts
• Two teams qualifying for the headline finals

The winner of each group qualifies. If a winning team cannot return for the evening session, its group runner-up will be offered the place.

How matches work

• 25 minutes of match play
• Five minutes for changeover
• First team to six games wins

Group positions will be decided by:

1. Matches won
