on Thursday 30th June. The event starts at 20:00.
If you're keen to experience Wimbledon whilst soaking in the exhilarating atmosphere and sunshine, but haven't quite managed to score tickets to this year's tournament, fear not. Quakers Friars at Cabot Circus is offering the ideal solution live outdoor screenings of the best of the action from SW19.
From Monday 20 June to Sunday 3 July, the vibrant shopping piazza at Quakers Friars will be transformed into a'village green' complete with grass-filled areas, bunting, deckchairs and giant size games for all to enjoy free of charge. Shoppers will be able to watch some nail-biting tennis on a big screen and cheer on their favourites, and enjoy some delicious picnic food, which can be easily purchased from one of the many delis and cafes nearby.
The setting is perfect for visitors to sit back, relax and soak up that summer sun. Visitors can enjoy fresh strawberries, ice cream, and take part in the classic summer game of Boules on the square.
Key dates to look out for will be Monday 20 June which marks the start of the tournament and the men's and women's finals on Saturday 2nd July and Sunday 3rd July.
Kevin Duffy, Cabot Circus Centre Director said: 'Wimbledon is a fantastic time of year enjoyed by thousands of people but few of us are lucky enough to get front row seats! We are hoping to provide the perfect alternative setting to watch the world's most famous grand slam right here at Quakers Friars.
So, whether you're a firm Andy Murray fan, admire Roger Federer's skilful play or will be rooting for Rafa Nadal, our Wimbledon screenings promise to be a great way to spend time with family and friends whist enjoying some nail-biting tennis. Best of all, when there happens to be a lull in the tennis, restless shoppers can just nip into their favourite store for some retail therapy!'
