Eat and drink Wimbledon... without going to London
Tigerlily, Edinburgh
The George Street venue will host the Scottish Wimbledon Garden. Sipsmith is the official gin partner of Wimbledon, and their Tigerlily pop-up is the only one outside of London where customers can enjoy a tennis-inspired cocktail menu and afternoon tea. Wild Flowers, an Edinburgh-based florist, decorated the installation with fresh hydrangeas, allium, viburnum, and daisies to create a fragrant indoor garden. It is the largest Tigerlily creation to date, with over 1,000 stems of flowers and foliage used.
Neighbourgood Market, Edinburgh
Along with the food and drinks you know and love, Neighbourgood Market in Stockbridge is showing Wimbledon on their big screens. The open air market, which returned for its third year, is a popular food and drink hotspot, having welcomed over 80,000 visitors in 2021. This weekend, join them at their very own Murray Mound, and soak up all the SW19 action alongside some of the capital’s best street food vendors.
Queen’s Park, Glasgow
Fans will be able to see the men’s and women’s semi-final and final matches on the big screens in the fantastic surroundings of Queen’s Park Arena from July 7 to July 10. The best part is that it’s free. With the weather forecast to be dry and warm, the arena will be serving strawberries and ice cream, along with Pimms or Aperol. Broadcasts will take place outside at Queen’s Park Arena from 2pm onwards.
