Merton Council and the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), will be bringing the Wimbledon Championships Big Screen back to the Canons in Mitcham, with a second location in Morden Park, this summer. It follows a successful public screening of The Championships at Canons House last year.

Canons House and Morden Park will each have a 20 square metre high-definition screen in place from Middle Saturday (8 July) to final Sunday (16 July), with entry free of charge to guests and no advance booking required.

The screens will show Championships action each day from the start of play until the parks close, with deckchairs, picnic areas, food and drink, pop-up tennis courts and try-outs and a morning family film on the final Sunday across both locations.

Councillor Caroline Cooper-Marbiah, Cabinet Member for Sport and Heritage, said: “I’m thrilled Merton Council and the AELTC have expanded the Big Screen initiative this year to include a second location. It was a hugely successful event at Canons House in Mitcham in 2022, and I’m excited the magic of the Wimbledon Championships will be extended to Morden Park as well this summer.”

Ulrika Högberg, Head of Community Strategy at AELTC, said: “We’re very proud of our association with the Borough of Merton, and are delighted that the Big Screen initiative will continue to offer communities a unique way to engage with The Championships. We hope it helps inspire tennis fans new and old, and we can’t wait to welcome even more residents to Canons House and Morden Park.”

There will also be a third big screen in Merton this year at Wimbledon Piazza, run by Love Wimbledon – so if you’re new to tennis or an avid fan, you’ll be spoilt for choice in 2023.

UPDATE: Due to a yellow weather warning of winds over 50mph, the big screens will not be up on Saturday 15th July.

But they will be back on Suday 16th July for the last day of the Championships.
