Pickleball Comes To NoVacancy


House of Pickle (HOP) is excited to partner with NoVacancy to bring pickleball to the event. Throughout the expo, HOP will transform the activation space into a vibrant pickleball court, giving attendees the chance to experience the sport firsthand. There will be social hit sessions across both days and a fun mini tournament on Day 2.

How It Works

Casual, Come-As-You-Are Play


No pre-registration required. Just turn up and play. Here's how the two days break down:

  • 1 Day 1: Lessons & casual play. Drop by for beginner-friendly sessions and social hits, no booking needed. This is also where you can register your interest for the Day 2 tournament.
  • 2 Day 2: Mini tournament. A fun, friendly tournament for players who registered on Day 1, alongside continued social play for everyone else.
  • 3 All skill levels welcome. Paddles and equipment are provided courtesy of House of Pickle, you just bring the energy.
