The event will take place at Caithness Walk in East Croydon from 29 June to 12 July 2026, transforming the space into a relaxed outdoor viewing destination for residents, workers and visitors.
Across the fortnight, daily live screenings of Wimbledon matches will be shown on a large outdoor screen, with deck chairs and beanbags creating a casual, social setting in the heart of the town centre.
Food and drink will be available throughout, from vendors Tao Cafe and Heavenly Desserts, offering a range of summer food and refreshments for outdoor viewing.
Alongside the tennis, Centre Court Croydon will host two family-friendly film mornings, presented in partnership with the David Lean Cinema, with a programme announcement to follow shortly.
Whether you’re an avid tennis fan or simply looking for a place to soak up the sunshine, meet up with friends and family, or take a moment to pause, Centre Court Croydon is the place to be this summer. We’re excited to take an underused space in Croydon and transform it into somewhere people can spend time, enjoy themselves, and do so completely free of charge. Our thanks go to our event partners London South Bank University for their support in helping make this possible. We look forward to welcoming everyone this summer.
