DD (year 6) is going to WImbeldon with some of her class tomorrow Does anyone know what there is to buy there? We usually get guidance form the school about spending money, but we haven't this time. They are taking their lunch.Thanks all.

There is loads to buy there and none of it is cheap. Last time I went there were cushions printed with the logo and year and these were about £5 each plus there was a more expensive version. The friend who took me collects these as she goes every year and they can be very useful as they are designed to carry and are wipe-clean/waterproof.The shop has loads of logo'd gear from full kit to socks. Towels are very popular too but I think these were about £15 each.

Used to be able to see an online shop, not sure if there is still one

The shop is expensive unless you go well into the second week when they discount some items. One of the most popular items is the giant tennis ball which can be used for autographs (should you be so lucky) and the towels (though you can buy these cheaper in your local shops). It will be incredibly crowded so I hope the supervision and "if you get lost" plans are good. Don't forget to pack plenty of drinks.
