About Wimbledon: The Championships

Why You Want to Go

Britain is the birthplace of tennis, so the UK’s most prestigious tennis tournament is rich with tradition. Wimbledon is the last remaining international tennis tournament that uses grass courts (trimmed to precisely 8mm), something of which the organizers are infinitely proud. Approaching the grounds, you will feel a huge sense of history and anticipation. Old customs are preserved in polite titles such as Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Doubles.

It’s hard not to be star-struck at Wimbledon. Not only does the tournament feature all of the most famous names in international tennis, but the every year the event is attended by celebrities, politicians, and royalty. It is truly an event where the elite of society and everyday folks come together to watch the matches. Read more about the amazing cultural force of Wimbledon on our blog!

Plus, we don’t need to remind you that Wimbledon takes place in London, one of the most vibrant, beautiful, and historic cities in the world.

Location and Transportation

The event is made up of 19 courts all tucked together in the southwest London suburb of Wimbledon. The event is accessible by the Underground, bus, and tram. Booking with Bucket List Events ensures transportation assistance through out your stay.

Tickets

If you’re happy to pay full price for the peace of mind, tickets can be purchased in advance through a number of verified sellers. More information is available on the official Wimbledon website. Otherwise, if you are prepared to bring a tent and rations enough for a 24-hour queuing experience, you can purchase cheaper tickets the day prior. You just have to be willing to wait! For many, day-long Wimbledon-queuing is regarded as a rite of passage.

What to Wear

The sun can be relentless, and 2016 was the wettest Wimbledon to date! We recommend bringing along rain gear, a functional sunhat, and plenty of sunscreen. Generally, spectators for the cheaper matches tend be dressed rather casually. But you’ll feel out of place in Centre Court if you aren’t a bit poshed up!
