THE Valley is set to transform itself into Centre Court this week with a free tennis event running from Thursday to Sunday.

The event sees a giant outdoor screen broadcasting the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the finals, along with deck chairs, strawberries and cream and their Union Jack umbrella canopy.

The Valley is also installing a tennis court in the mall for locals to practice their tennis skills throughout the four days.

Phil Maclean, marketing manager at The Valley, said: “We are all big fans of the Wimbledon fortnight and are excited to bring the atmosphere of Centre Court to Evesham.

"Our Union Jack umbrella canopy has already been a big hit since the Royal Wedding and is perfect for adding to the British atmosphere that Wimbledon brings the nation."
