Your Wimbledon essentials

The world’s most iconic tennis tournament is back – Wimbledon! If you were lucky enough to get your hands on some tickets, here are our list of some essentials you need to take for a day of spectating.

Stylish sunglasses

Wimbledon is usually blessed with glorious sunny weather so avoid losing focus on the game with these stylish sunglasses from No.50 Birmingham. Now in the sale at £45!

Chic headwear

Like most other sporting events, Wimbledon is all about fashion. It’s a time to get dressed up and enjoy the atmosphere and nothing says Wimbledon style than a chic straw sun visor. You can shop this one at Peter Forson. It also comes in pale pink, black, navy and beige to match whatever outfit you’re wearing.

Picnic goodies

Save yourself the hassle of queuing up for food by taking your own picnic, especially if it’s a lovely day. Marks and Spencers are the place to go for delicious nibbles and treats with a whole variety of sandwiches, afternoon tea cakes, fruits and salads. You can order online and collect in store.

A bottle of Champagne

Wimbledon celebrations wouldn’t be complete without a glass of bubbly so get the best fizz in town at Anderson & Hill with a bottle of Mionetto prosecco. You mustn’t forget some glasses!

Join The Mailbox for a game of tennis

If you’ve got Wimbledon blues, you can still enjoy the pleasure of Wimbledon right in the heart of Birmingham as the Mailbox brings the action from the grass courts to its luxurious Urban Room, until 16th July.

Decking out the Urban Room with artificial grass, beautiful hedging and deck chairs, you can sit back, relax and watch live on four screens until 7pm.
