We do not as yet have the exact dates for these tickets but The Championships run from 22 June to 5 July. For the first time the roof on Centre Court will be available so play is now guaranteed on this court.

All WLTC Adults　and Juniors over 9 years of age who are also members of British Tennis (this is a condition of the LTA) will be entered into a ballot that will be held after Clubnight on Wednesday 29 April.  The LTA issue us with a list of members who are also signed up for British Tennis every month and this list will be used as the basis for the ballot. The first 23 names drawn will be offered a pair of tickets in the order that they are drawn in. ie first out the hat will be offered the most desirable tickets second out the hat will be offered the second best tickets etc.

Should the first out of the hat not wish to purchase the allocated tickets the tickets will be offered to the first reserve ie the 24th name drawn. The first out of the hat gives up their right to tickets.
