Store That’s Tips for Enjoying Wimbledon 2022
Today marks the start of the 135th edition of The Wimbledon championships. Running until July 10th, Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, dating back to 1877, and people still love to celebrate! Now, whilst you might not have been lucky enough to bag a ticket to the event, this doesn’t mean you can’t bring Wimbledon to you! Here at Store That, the team love a good game of tennis, so we have put together our top tips to help you celebrate this Wimbledon in style!
How to Watch Wimbledon
Before we get into the details of the party set up, let’s talk about where to watch the tournament. It might not be the same as being courtside but, your TV is perfect for catching the coverage across the two weeks, in an intimate setting with friends. Store That suggests catching either the semi-final or the final as this is when the competition really heats up! Once you have picked your date, consider enjoying a little more of the British summer and hosting your Wimbledon bash outside! Get a projector or set up a TV in your garden for the complete picnic vibes.
BBC 1 and BBC 2 will have daily coverage over two weeks, as well as the BBC sports website, iPlayer, and app. There will also be coverage on BBC Radio 5 Live if you fancy having the radio on instead!
Food and Drink
No Wimbledon party is complete without signature food and drinks. To keep your party guests refreshed, Store That suggest a Wimbledon style Pimm’s with plenty of mint leaves, cucumber slices, strawberries, and other fruits. Wimbledon matches can last a while, so ensure you have a variety to hand, including other refreshing, non-alcoholic drinks.
Wimbledon parties are often awash with traditional British food, including afternoon tea. If afternoon tea doesn’t appeal to you, why not try a selection of nibbles or an antipasti board with crisps and dip? This way, everyone can help themselves and it’s also perfect food for summer!
Garden Party
Most Wimbledon parties are likely to be held outside in gardens. When planning, you might find your garden doesn’t have the required space for the festivities. If this is the case, why not move those unsightly items into a storage rental in London? Store That are located in a convenient London location (near Canary Wharf) and have a range of storage units available for your storage needs. We can store your currently unused items to free up your garden space and ensure your Wimbledon party goes off without a hitch! More space means more mates!
