From the queue to the Royal Box, Wimbledon’s traditions are as much a part of the experience as the actual tennis. The championships began in 1877 and have become one of the world’s most famous tennis tournaments. They’re one of four Grand Slam competitions, alongside the Australian Open, Roland Garros and US Open, and the only one of the four played on grass courts.

On Wednesday 10^th July, 8 students had the chance to experience the history and traditions of The Championships at Wimbledon. They were able to visit the iconic grass courts to witness world class players in action and got up close to the famous trophies.

This was an amazing experience for both students and accompanying staff and a fabulous time was had by all!
