Wimbledon season kicks off Monday 29th June, and runs until Sunday 12th July, and we've got the best ways for you to join in and celebrate like a true Brit, directly from your living room sofa!
The Ultimate Wimbledon Menu
You can't celebrate the oldest tennis tournament in the world without leaning into these classic British traditions:
🍓 Strawberries & Cream: The undisputed star of the tournament, with a tradition dating back to 1877. Enjoy the fresh strawberries, served with a generous pour of thick double cream!
🍹 The Pimm's Cup: This is the official taste of British summer. Mix Pimm's No.1 with lemonade, and garnish heavily with chopped cucumber, mint, orange slices and a handful of strawberries.
🥪 Afternoon Tea: If you're hosting a Wimbledon watch party, elevate the spread with finger sandwiches, warm scones slathered in clotted cream and jam, and a hot pot of English Breakfast tea.
Set the Scene
🌸 Dress the Part: Lean into the 'country garden' vibe with gingham tablecloths, floral tea sets and stylish straw hats.
🪻Embrace the colours: Decorate with traditional Wimbledon purple and green. If you want to go the extra mile, you can even put lavender around your living room.
Play Like a Champ 🎾
Challenge a friend to a game of tennis: It can be a good way to get into the tennis season and have a laugh with your mates! All you need is 2 tennis rackets, a ball and a suitable spot to play.
