What is Wimbledon?
The Championships, Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and the only Grand Slam still played on grass. It has been held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south west London since 1877, when the first Gentlemen’s Singles was won by Spencer Gore. Today the fortnight includes singles, doubles, mixed doubles, wheelchair, junior and invitation events, watched by around half a million spectators on site and hundreds of millions on television. Dates, tickets and the ballot are published by the All England Club.
Wimbledon is known for its traditions: an all white dress code for players, strawberries and cream, the Royal Box, the public ticket ballot and The Queue, where fans camp overnight for on the day tickets. Play on the middle Sunday was introduced permanently from 2022, and Centre Court and No.1 Court both have retractable roofs. The 2027 Championships celebrate 150 years since the first tournament.
Why it matters for marketers and organisations
Wimbledon anchors the British summer for broadcasters, hospitality, food and drink brands, fashion retailers and sports clubs, and its official partners are held to strict brand rules, so most organisations join the moment through unofficial tennis themed activity. Supermarkets see spikes in strawberries, cream and Pimm’s; pubs and offices screen the finals; and tennis clubs and councils use the fortnight for participation drives. Employers may see people watching matches at work, and some use it as a team social. The angle is quintessential British summer, played straight rather than with branding that suggests an official link.
