BOOKING TIPS
💡 Mini Travellers’ Booking Tips:
- Book as early as possible — Wimbledon hotels sell out fast, especially during the Championships fortnight (late June–early July).
- Consider staying a day either side of the matches to explore Wimbledon Village and Common at a slower pace.
- Southfields tube (District Line) is your best friend — many hotels are a short walk away.
- Self-catering flats via Booking.com can be great value for families — more space, kitchen access, no early starts stress.
ADIDAS TENNIS CLOTHING
Whether you’re watching from the stands, joining the queue on Aorangi Terrace, or inspired to get out on court yourself, looking the part is all part of the Wimbledon magic. adidas has a brilliant range of tennis clothing that’s both performance-ready and stylish enough for a day out — lightweight fabrics, full-stretch materials for a full range of motion, and clever details like ball pockets. Men won’t be left out either with Men’s adidas tennis clothing or tennis shoes.
If the kids are inspired to pick up a racket after seeing their heroes play, Adidas has junior ranges too so they can look the part from day one!
FAMILY DAY TIPS
Our top tips for a family day at Wimbledon:
The Queue — don’t be put off! Joining the famous Wimbledon Queue on the day is an experience in itself. Arrive from 7am for the best chance of Centre Court tickets. Grounds passes are easier to get and let you watch on the big screens and outer courts.
Strawberries & cream — it’s non-negotiable. Budget around £3 per portion and savour every bite.
Henman Hill / Murray Mound — the best family spot. Bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the atmosphere on the big screen for free with a Grounds Pass.
The Museum — the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum is brilliant for kids and well worth a visit.
Wimbledon Common — perfect for a run-around before or after the matches.
Book tickets early — the public ballot opens in autumn/winter for the following year. Don’t miss it!
Wimbledon is one of those experiences that stays with children forever — the strawberries, the atmosphere, the crack of a perfectly-struck backhand echoing around Centre Court. With the right base and the right kit, your family’s Wimbledon trip will be an absolute Grand Slam.
