Watch Wimbledon on the big screen at Islington Square

With Wimbledon around the corner, Islington Square on Upper Street is planning on transforming itself into a tennis lover's paradise with free Wimbledon screenings in collaboration with Urban Food Fest.

You can watch the action from comfy deck chairs or you can bring your own picnic blankets, and spread out on the grassed areas with friends.  A variety of food and drink options will be available, featuring local favourites such as Megan’s, OMNOM, Bewliehill, Selv Roastery, and the newest addition - The Great Chase. For those seeking a refreshing tipple, The Bottle Cocktail Shop will be on hand with a selection of summer tasting cocktails.

On the weekends of July 6th-7th and 13th-14th, from 11 am to 5 pm, the experience gets even better with the addition of the Urban Food Fest bar. Every purchase from the market comes with a complimentary drink (One per person whilst stocks last). Beyond these complimentary sips, the bar will also serve a wide range of cocktails, craft beers, and soft drinks.

Families can enjoy free child-friendly arts and crafts workshops. Young tennis fans can get creative by decorating a tennis ball along with Wimbledon-themed colouring activities. Plus, a selection of Wimbledon-themed desserts will be available for purchase, adding a sweet touch to the festivities.

To celebrate Arlo & Jacob’s partnership with British tennis player Billy Harris, they will be offering free strawberries and cream during the first weekend of Wimbledon (July 6th-7th).

Whether you're a die-hard tennis fan or simply looking for a fun and relaxed way to spend a summer day, Islington Square is the place to be this Wimbledon season. Pack your picnic blanket, bring your friends and family, and get ready for tennis mania.

When: July 1st - 14th 2024

Location: The Boulevard at Islington Square, 116 Upper Street, London, N1 1AB
