The Wimbledon Tennis Championships, held annually at the 42 acre site in Wimbledon, date back to 1877.  They’re attended by nearly half a million people, who consume 28,000kg of fresh strawberries between them!

Famous for not only the tennis, but also the people watching. If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket but are wondering what to wear, we’ve got you covered.
