Positioning itself as the world’s first hybrid football arena, KickX has opened its doors in the centre of Addlestone, bringing a brand-new sporting experience to Surrey.

KickX has spent the past three months fitting out an extensive 14,000 sq ft multi-floor venue at AddlestoneOne, Runnymede Borough Council’s regeneration project that has brought new homes and businesses to the south of the Borough.

KickX will inspire football enthusiasts of all ages to test their skills and experience the thrill of fast, fun, and easy-to-learn games.

KickX offers five different activities across 11 indoor courts, including Padbol, Jorkyball, Teqball, Panna, and KickX VR. This unique concept is expected to draw in football enthusiasts from across the South East bringing new attention, investment, and attractions to Addlestone.

Andrew Shepherd, Director at AS Retail who are the leasing agents at AddlestoneOne and who conducted the negotiations on behalf of the landlord commented “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome KickX to the development. They have chosen Addlestone owing to its strategic location allowing them to reach football enthusiasts, families, community football clubs and schools across the region. Sitting alongside The Light Cinema, Nandos and Smith & Western they help consolidate Addlestone One as the leisure destination to visit in the region. We only have three ground floor spaces and two upper level spaces remaining so please contact myself or the AS Retail team to discuss your requirements.”

In addition to KickX, a new branch of the popular gaming café Geek Retreat will be opening around the same time, offering a location for tabletop gaming, as well as society meetups and events.

AddlestoneOne opened in 2018 to give people more choice and boost the local economy, has been becoming increasingly popular as a destination for businesses. AddlestoneOne encompasses not only the thriving leisure destination but also 214 residential apartments, the majority of which have been successfully sold or rented, a five screen cinema, Premier Inn Hotel and small format Waitrose food store.
