MoneyMagpie tip: Bring your own snacks if you can — check Wimbledon’s rules on what you can take in — as venue food prices add up quickly.
Wimbledon Treats from the Supermarkets
If you’d rather recreate a Centre Court picnic at home, you can save a fortune with these supermarket deals:
-
Ocado Wimbledon bundle: Strawberries (400g), cream (300ml), and meringues for £5.50

Strawberries & cream ice cream: £1.95–£2.65 at Iceland, Sainsbury’s or Morrisons
MoneyMagpie tip: Buying fresh strawberries at the supermarket costs around £2.50 for 400g — that’s cheaper than Wimbledon’s £2.70 portion and will stretch further.
Wimbledon Merchandise: Save on Official Gear
Wimbledon’s official shop is famous for stylish (if pricey) souvenirs. Luckily there are discounts this year:
If you’re after a classic souvenir towel, expect to pay £10–£12 in the sale, while hats start from £22.
MoneyMagpie tip: Check the Wimbledon shop outlet section for even bigger bargains on past-season gear.
