Safety and Comfort
If you are intending to visit The Championships, we would like you to have an enjoyable experience.
The Championships Grounds cover more than 40 acres and are built on land which is not totally level. Therefore we ask you to take care and to consider your own and others’ safety and comfort by heeding the following:
Do
Leave prohibited items at Left Luggage.
Leave plenty of time to reach your destination - either getting into the Grounds or when moving within the Grounds.
Switch off mobile telephones and communication devices in the stands and around the courts.
Hand in or offer your ticket for scanning, for resale on behalf of charity, as you leave the Grounds.
Do NOT
Buy tickets from touts (Schwarzhändler, Bacarinagios, Scalpers, ダフ屋), they will not gain you entry. Tickets are checked at all
entry gates.
Enter or leave the stands except at a change of ends and NOT during a tie-break.
Make a noise during a rally.
Applaud a net cord or double fault.
Use flash photography from the stands - automatic flashlights must be suppressed.
Bring babes in arms or children under 5 into any Show Court.
Smoke within the stands of any court or in any enclosed space.
Take glass or uncovered drinks containers or hot and/or strong smelling food onto the Show Courts.
For further ticket information (not ticket sales), or if you have limited mobility and would like further information concerning provision for our wheelchair users and ambulant disabled customers, please call the Ticket Office on 020 8971 2473.
Security Searches
This year, once again, comprehensive security measures will be in place for all those visiting The Championships; these will include extensive searches on entry to the Grounds, Show Courts, and Left Luggage facilities. Please note the restriction, which will be enforced, on the number and size of bags which may be brought into the Grounds.
One bag only per person will be allowed and this bag must measure no more than 16" x 12" x 12" (40cm x 30cm x 30cm). Further, no hard-sided items (e.g. picnic hampers, coolboxes, briefcases, thermos flasks) of any size will be allowed into the Grounds.
Left Luggage facilities will again be provided outside the Grounds for items exceeding these criteria, and are open from 6am. The charge is £1 per item.
All items will be searched before being accepted. Every effort will be made to speed your progress through the search procedures; however, this process depends on the requirements of the Metropolitan Police.
You are strongly advised to arrive as early as possible. We know that these procedures may be inconvenient but we are sure that you will understand the need to protect the safety and security of all our visitors.
Emergencies
If you discover an accident, fire or suspect package etc:
The relevant emergency service(s) will be despatched immediately.
Evacuation
If you are asked to evacuate a court or the Grounds, please leave by the nearest suitable exit or as directed by uniformed stewarding staff, taking all your personal belongings with you.
Please note that, in order to ensure the effectiveness of any emergency evacuation, the All England Club regrets that spectators using wheelchairs are only permitted access to designated areas within the stands.
