Wimbledon breaks FAQs
We are delighted to offer a variety of breaks which include tickets to No. 1 Court at the Championships, Wimbledon. Here, you will find all the information you may need for your break.
Tickets are in digital form. You will be required to download the Wimbledon App. This will require you to have a smart phone. Paper tickets are not available for the Championships.
Towards the end of June, tickets will be deployed and ready for input to the My Wimbledon section of your App. We recommend you watch this excellent video with instructions of how to download your tickets: Wimbledon Mobile Ticketing 2024 on Vimeo.
Your entry QR code will be visible on the morning of your visit to The Championships and not before.
Yes, you will be required to take photographic ID to the Championships, to present with your digital tickets to gain entry.
For our traditional packages (Wimbledon Tennis Break 2 days or Wimbledon Tennis Break 3 days), which include coach transfers, name changes can only be done before 4 July with an administration fee of £35pp. After 4 July, no name changes are permitted.
For customers booked on our Wimbledon Tennis & London Break, which do not include coach transfers, (2 or 3 days), any supplier charges for hotel name changes will apply and be passed onto you accordingly. This can only be done before 4 July. After 5 July, this would be classed as a full cancellation as outlined in our Booking Conditions.
We offer two types of breaks to attend the Championships at Wimbledon. Both packages include seating on No. 1 Court on the Finals Weekend of the tournament.
Wimbledon Tennis Break (two or three days)
This is our traditional package which we have successfully operated for 27 years. These packages include either a one or two night stay at a chosen hotel plus coach transfers to and from Wimbledon. If you are booked on this package, you will be accompanied from the hotel to Wimbledon by a Newmarket Holidays Tour Manager. On your return to your hotel at the end of the day, coaches will depart Wimbledon at 7pm. Your Tour Manager will provide full details. If you wish to remain at Wimbledon and not return with the coach (at your own expense), you are welcome to do so, but you must advise your Tour Manager.
Wimbledon Tennis & London Break (two or three days)
This package includes a stay in a London hotel. No transfers are included and you will make your own way to and from Wimbledon.
Alcohol may be brought into the grounds but is limited to the equivalent of one bottle of wine or Champagne (750ml) or two cans of beer (500ml) or two cans of premixed aperitifs per person. Bottles of spirits or fortified wines will not be allowed into the Grounds. You can bring snacks in with you, should you wish. Please check the Wimbledon App for more details as bag sizes may be restricted.
There are no left luggage facilities inside the Grounds. Oversize bags, picnic hampers and other prohibited items must be deposited in one of the left luggage facilities outside the Grounds (subject to availability) and are size restricted. All bags will be searched before acceptance into the left luggage facilities. There is a charge for this service, and this will be by cashless payment only. Do not leave your bags unattended at any time. If you have booked a package including transfers and are returning to the hotel with us at the end of the day, you should leave your luggage at the hotel or in your car at the hotel car park. We do not recommend luggage to be left on our coaches as they are subject to security searches throughout the day.
We are unable to book additional nights, other than what corresponds with our packages. We would recommend therefore that you contact the hotel directly to make additional night reservations.
We pass names to the hotel approx. 2 weeks before your stay, so don't be surprised if you call the hotel they are unable to find a reservation under your name, outside of 2 weeks before you check-in. Please explain you have booked a Newmarket Holidays package.
No.1 Court matches generally showcase the stars of tomorrow and yesteryear in the finals of the Junior and Invitation events on the final Saturday and Sunday. On the final Friday the No.1 Court Order Of Play normally includes some of the semi-finals of the main doubles competitions (however, please be aware that all schedules are at the discretion of The Championships Referee, and could be subject to change at short notice). You can wander the grounds and outside courts at your leisure and perhaps watch some of the Centre Court action on the big screen on Henman Hill.
The current schedule can be found here: https://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/atoz/schedule.html but is subject to change at the discretion of the Championships Referee.
