 Easy Access at Wimbledon


We try to ensure that the facilities at Wimbledon are accessible to all our visitors with a disability; however, by the nature of the site, some areas may be physically challenging and we strongly recommend that those with a significant disability and/or those using a wheelchair are accompanied by an able-bodied helper.

 Attending the Championships


For safety reasons, and to aid evacuation in an emergency, we recommend that wheelchair users attend The Championships with an able-bodied companion. Likewise, although guide dogs are permitted in the Grounds, it is recommended that our sight-impaired visitors also have a human companion with them in case of emergency.

Disabled people with mobility impairments should telephone the Ticket Office on 020 8971 2473 in advance for advice on queueing to buy tickets on the day of play and for car parking arrangements.

Normal opening hours for the Ticket Office: Mon-Fri 09:00-17:00, excl. Bank Holidays).

During the 2007 Championships, the Ticket Office will be open:

Saturday 23 June and Sunday 24 June (09:00 - 17:00)
Monday 25 June to Saturday 30 June (08:00 - close of play)
Monday 2 July to Sunday 8 July (08:00 - close of play)

Disabled visitors and wheelchair users without a ticket should seek the help of a steward to join the on-day queue for non-ticket holders. Stewards will advise appropriate entrance procedures.
