From this you will note that due to player demand we are starting early this year. For all stadium pass holders** we will therefore open the gates at 11:30 so you are able to enjoy a glass of champagne or 2 on the Stoke Park lawns before strolling across to the courts and settling in to enjoy the action before you.
We wish you a wonderful day - let’s raise a glass of Perrier Jouet to some spectacular tennis.
