Cheshire set to go tennis crazy ahead of Wimbledon Championships

Tuesday, June 10, 2014

The second of four Great British Tennis Weekends takes place on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June. The Great British Tennis Weekend will see courts across Cheshire serve up free tennis for families ahead of the biggest tennis event of the year

On the eve of Wimbledon, as the world’s greatest tennis players gather in the capital, families across Cheshire will be given the ultimate chance to get involved in the excitement and build up to The Championships when the second in a series of four free ‘Great British Tennis Weekends’ smashes into town on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June.  The first of the weekends on the 17th and 18th May saw hundreds of families across Cheshire grabbing the opportunity for free tennis events as tennis fever truly began to grip the nation.

People right across Cheshire will take part in Cardio Tennis, Mini Tennis, disability tennis and tennis coaching – all completely free as part of the LTA and Tennis Foundation’s drive to get more people playing more often. Venues will provide rackets and balls, enabling those that attend and have never tried playing tennis before to get involved straight away and not be limited by their ability, age or experience.

The second of the ‘Great British Tennis Weekends’ continues to ramp up a summer of tennis fever with two more Great British Tennis Weekends taking place through June and July as follows:

  • Saturday 28th – Sunday 29th June
  • Saturday 19th – Sunday 20th July

Families can book in advance online and find out more information about local venues at www.greatbritishtennisweekend.com.
