Educational Tours
Learning Tour - Primary, Secondary, Further & Higher
From the height of the grass to the weight of the tennis balls, let our Learning team guide you through the many stories, bizarre though they may seem, that make a visit to Wimbledon such an unforgettable experience. The tour reveals the story behind the first Championships, explores No.1 Court, the Picnic Terraces (the famous hill), the Millennium Building including the press areas and the iconic Centre Court.*

Science Tour: Keeping Healthy - Primary
Using the Learning tour as a starting point, pupils can uncover the science behind the sport.
How do top players prepare before a match? What is a tennis player’s favourite pre-match meal? Why do tennis players have to warm up? Explore how the answers to these and other questions on the tour allow you to begin to follow in the footsteps of today’s elite tennis stars.
