Wimbledon plans to increase the ability and accessibility of “Henman Hill”

Wimbledon planned to renew his iconic “Henman Hill” and increase the capacity for the 150th anniversary of the tournament.

Thousands of fans have looked at an action on a big screen from the grass slope that is open to supporters without tickets for the show field.

The proposed renewal – which has not yet been approved – would increase the capacity of the hill by 20% in time for the 2027 event and would increase accessibility.

It is the latest modification scheduled for the All England Club, after an expansion of 39 courses It was approved last year.

“It is a matter of improving the entire area, obviously it has become extremely popular, but accessibility is difficult for everyone,” said the Wimbledon Tim Henman semifinalist, after which the hill has been named.

“We always try to improve wherever we find ourselves in the estate. This will be an exciting project.”
