What's On For Families

- find out what it takes to be a Ball Boy or Ball Girl
- travel back in time to learn the history of broadcasting at Wimbledon
- discover the most exciting rivalries in the Open era
- get up close and personal to the Championships’ trophies
You won’t want to miss it!
Early Years at Wimbledon
Do you live in Merton or Wandsworth and have children under the age of five?
Our first ever Early Years Programme offers families a unique opportunity to discover the magic of Wimbledon through storytelling, singing, movement and arts and crafts.
The 45-minute sessions will take place on the first Wednesday of the month.
New in the Museum
And two-time Wimbledon champion Sir Andy Murray has got lost in the crowds! Play our new interactive game and search for him in iconic locations around the Grounds at The Championships.
Family multimedia guide
With new added stops, we have a multimedia adventure for our family visitors. On your journey you will get the chance to invent your own sport, create a signature Wimbledon ice cream, and even mow the Centre Court grass. But most importantly, you must help Ella the Engraver to find the lost pieces of the Challenge Cup around the Museum before it’s too late! Are you ready?
Family activity trail
Our resident bird scarer, Rufus the Hawk, has escaped Centre Court and is on the loose in the Museum! Can you spot him? Follow the clues to meet some famous faces and learn about the story of Wimbledon.
