Now, here’s where it gets interesting. You cannot bring your own booze into the Members’ Enclosures or the Residential Courts. Those areas have their own bars and strict no-outside-drinks policies. So if you’re lucky enough to be a member, you’ll have to buy their Pimm’s—which, honestly, is a small price to pay for the view.

Also, don’t even think about bringing a keg or a case of beer. The rule is specifically for one bottle of wine or two cans per person. Security will politely check your bag, and they’re surprisingly good at spotting over-enthusiastic packers. It’s not a rave—it’s a garden party with tennis.
What About Buying Drinks Inside?
If you forget your bottle or just want to soak up the atmosphere, you’re in luck. Wimbledon’s bars are legendary. You can grab a classic Pimm’s No. 1 Cup, a glass of Champagne, or a cold beer from one of the many kiosks. The prices are, well, London-priced—but the experience of sipping a cold drink while watching a five-set thriller on Henman Hill is worth every penny.
Pro tip: bring a reusable plastic cup or a flask. The queues can get long, and having your own supply means you can focus on the match instead of waiting for a refill. It’s like being at a festival, but with more white linen and less mud.
