Love Wimbledon’s Big Screen is back on The Piazza to showcase The Championships, including Middle Sunday, new this year.

No queues, no costs, fun for everyone to enjoy.
Date: June 27-July 10
Time: All day
Price: Free
2. Friday Food & Play Pop-Up
Chill to the vibes of summer with music, good food, games and alfresco seating on the Wimbledon Piazza from daytime to dusk. And bring your pooch!
Food & Drink
A round-up of local restaurants will be serving a diverse range of food, from Pho’s Vietnamese summer rolls and salads to Diba’s kebabs, curries from Bombay Delight, and sweet and savoury crêpes, vegan burgers, tempting treats and much more.
Tequila Mockingbird’s pop-up bar has taste bud tingling cocktails and mixing demonstrations throughout the day. Learn cheese and beer pairings from Wimbledon’s Local Cheese Cave and Wimbledon Brewery or simply enjoy a cold one.
