Partners
The event wouldn't be possible with support from commercial partners, and we have been very fortunate to partner with;
Great Pickleball Brands
What a privilege it is to have Diadem & The Pickleball Store as leading partners for the first Welsh Open,
delivered by PickleB for Pickleball Wales
With such an elite product range, typified by the new Blucore internal structure in the new 2025 paddles, Diadem is at the very forefront of pickleball technology.
Already an established brand in tennis, with top stars choosing their equipment, Diadem continue to show why they are seen as such a premium sports brand, while offering great value in their pricing.
With Lloyd Attrill at the helm there's not much more you could want from a pickleball equipment retailer.
A geek in all the right ways, and always eager to deliver only the best service and leave every player delighted with their pickleball gear, & the experience they had buying it.
Lloyd and his team will always impress, and they'll be highly visible at their stand throughout all 4 days of this historic event.
PickleB.co.uk delivered the first European Championships for the EPF in November 2024, have had over 8,000 players through the doors over the past 2 years, and the first Welsh Open will be PickleB's 50th event.
