Hello,

Going to centre court today for first time? Anyone know if you can have a drink at your seat? And can you have something you've brought yourself like a gin tin at your seat? Thanks

Yes to both, you'll hear a pleasing pop of (brought-in) champagne corks from around the court nearly every break in play. Enjoy, I'm very jealous!

Thanks so much. I'm assuming that means I could have a tinny of g and t in my seat as long as unopened before I go in.

I went last year brought a bottle of cava and a picnic with me. Was able to bring drinks into the court with me too. Word of advice screenshot your tickets on the app as there was sporadic Wi-Fi/5G there for a spell.
