About the tournament
Hunstanton Lawn Tennis Tournament started in 1920 and quickly became a popular event attracting entrants from Norfolk and beyond. Today it remains the UK’s largest tennis tournament.
The tournament takes place in August on 38 grass courts located on the southern edge of the famous Norfolk seaside town of Hunstanton. It is an open tournament catering for experienced players down to enthusiastic beginners. It covers all ages from masters’ veterans (75+) to 12&U and if time permits there is Round Robin event for 12&U and 10&U.
A committee of passionate tennis players/fans run the event each year and it is supported by a range of sponsors and trade stalls. There will be a selection of refreshments available including a licenced bar.
