- Venue part of All England Club’s expansion plans
- It would be third-biggest court after Centre and Court One
A new 8,000-seater show court will be part of Wimbledon’s expansion into neighbouring parkland.
The second consultation document on plans for the All England Club’s use of the 73-acre site sets out a broad picture of how it will look. The new show court, which will have a retractable roof and be set within a ring of ancient oak trees, will be the only major structure and is expected to be ready to host matches in 2030. It will be the third-biggest court at Wimbledon after Centre and Court One, and will bring the tournament into line with the other grand slams, which all have a bigger third arena.
