About Us

More than a game.
Building a community for life.

Beyond Badminton Chorley started as a handful of local sessions. It's grown into a welcoming, inclusive badminton community across the town — and we're not done yet.

Who we are

A club built on inclusion and opportunity

We run badminton sessions for women & girls, juniors, mixed adults and teams across two Chorley venues, coached by Level 2 Badminton England coaches. Whatever your age or ability, we want there to be a session, a coach, and a court for you. Beyond the games themselves, we're building something longer-lasting: a community where people come to play, learn, compete, volunteer and belong.
