Forthcoming Anglo-Norse Society Event - Tour of The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Wimbledon on Tuesday, 16 April 2024 at 1.45 for 2pm
Led by a Blue Badge Guide, we will see the facilities used by the world’s best tennis players as well as broadcasters, learn how Wimbledon’s distinctive grass is cared for and how the site has changed and improved each year. The 90-minute tour includes Centre Court, No.1 Court and Court 18, Henman Hill, the Members’ and Players’ Tea Lawns, Players’ Entrance and Interview Desk. Comfortable footwear and appropriate dress are recommended as tours run in all weathers. There are no facilities to leave bags or coats whilst on the tour.
The history and traditions of The Championships can then be experienced in the Museum. Interactive galleries include famous trophies, the bench used by Roger Federer in the Gentlemen's Dressing Room and fabrics of tennis fashions from the Victorian period. The Museum and Museum Shop has step-free access, while the tour has a step-free route available on request.
The on-site Wingfield Café offers a selection of cakes, pastries, salads and sandwiches, as well as a full range of hot and cold drinks. Please note that Wimbledon is cashless, so only card payments can be used.
Numbers are limited to 20.
