The Boodles: boutique, exhibition-style hosting

The Boodles is an invitational exhibition traditionally staged just before Wimbledon, known for relaxed glamour, player access, and a social atmosphere. While current venue and dates have varied in recent years, the format typically blends refined dining and garden terraces with intimate, reserved seating close to court. It’s particularly suited to smaller groups who value conversation-friendly pacing alongside world-class tennis.

Because scheduling and capacity can shift year to year, it’s wise to register interest early. We can advise on likely timelines, guest flow, and how to balance a Boodles day with a Queen’s or Wimbledon date for a cohesive summer programme.

Wimbledon: the pinnacle of prestige

Wimbledon offers the most coveted tickets of the season. Official hospitality and premium seating routes differ by product but commonly include reserved seats on Centre Court or No.1 Court, premium food and beverage, and attentive service throughout the day. Debenture seats are the benchmark for premium spectator access at Wimbledon and can be paired with dining to create a full hospitality day.

Session selection matters. Early rounds provide variety across the grounds; the second week distils the draw into headline matches with fewer courts in play. Travel time, guest arrival windows, and post-play hospitality are all planning considerations we can help steward.

How to choose the right summer tennis hospitality

• Guest profile: Decide between intimate, social formats (Boodles, Queen’s lounges) and high-prestige stages (Wimbledon).
• Atmosphere: Casual shared spaces versus formal gastronomic dining; DJ-led energy versus heritage-led calm.
• Seat location: Prioritise Centre Court perspectives at Queen’s and Wimbledon; consider practice-court views for added interest at Queen’s.
• Budget and inclusions: Compare menus, Champagne service, and bar policies. Note that all prices are typically subject to VAT.
• Diary fit: Build momentum: Queen’s for close-up action in mid-June, Boodles for sociable flair, Wimbledon for pinnacle polish.
• Availability pressure: Queen’s Day 5 and Wimbledon finals week sell quickest—secure early or hold options across multiple dates.

Planning and compliance

To maintain guest confidence and procurement compliance, book via official channels and authorised partners, especially for Wimbledon and Queen’s. Allow for accessible dietary accommodations, note any mobility requirements, and plan transfers with realistic post-play timings. Finally, set clear host-to-guest ratios so your team can greet, guide, and manage pace throughout the day.
