Sports charity 'Tennis for Free' is teaming up with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and Ipswich Borough Council, to provide the sessions for families all year round at Christchurch Park.
The aims of these sessions are to get more people playing tennis and to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Harry Wilson, who will lead the coaching at Christchurch Park, said: "I am very excited to welcome Tennis For Free to my home town. It is a fantastic opportunity for the local community to try tennis.
It’s a fun, friendly and entertaining free weekly event where you’ll make new friends and benefit from regular exercise.
