Tennis lovers are invited to soak up the magic of the world’s oldest Grand Slam event at The Wimbledon Experience, which opens at Battersea Power Station in London on Monday, 29 June.
Presented by The All England Lawn Tennis Club in association with Ocean Outdoor, The Wimbledon Experience will be open daily from 11am to 9pm throughout the Wimbledon Fortnight until Sunday, 12 July. Admission is free.
For the first time this year, The Wimbledon Experience is turned into a fan village, delivering an authentic taste of The Championships, recreating the look and feel of Wimbledon through floral displays, live scoreboards and traditional strawberries and cream, which have been served at the event for almost 150 years.
As The Championships unfolds, tennis fans will be able to sit and watch the BBC’s broadcast live on a large format 15 square metre outdoor screen, situated in Power Station Park next to the Grade II* listed Power Station and River Thames.
As headline partner, American Express will be giving away limited edition charms* and a chance for guests to win tickets to the Wimbledon finals weekend. Pimm’s will also be present with its vintage bus serving classic drinks, and Official Championships merchandise will be available for purchase.
Brendan Dinen, Head of Marketing at The All England Lawn Tennis Club, said: “As we welcome what we anticipate will be another unforgettable Championships, we’re excited to bring the magic of Wimbledon to thousands of fans at the iconic location of Battersea Power Station. We're thrilled to collaborate with Ocean Outdoor once again to deliver a fan experience designed to captivate and inspire audiences while celebrating the very best of world-class tennis.”
