Situated in the heart of Didsbury, South Manchester, The Northern is a unique members owned Racquet sports and Fitness club. We offer Tennis, Squash and Fitness facilities to rival any club in the North West of England. Founded in 1881 our club has one of the richest histories of any sports club in the world and has been graced with athletes such as Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe, with Pete Sampras winning his first ever grass court tournament here. We host an international grass court tennis tournament, the Manchester Trophy in June. Our history, combined with our idyllic and tranquil setting, superb facilities, full social events programme and our friendly and welcoming members, means that there is something at The Northern for everyone.
