All the places you can watch the Wimbledon finals in Greater Manchester this weekend

The world’s most prestigious tennis tournament comes to a close this weekend, but not before some of the very best take to centre court to battle it out to become Wimbledon champions. In 2021, 25.8 million people watched the competition on the BBC, and a record number of streams made it the most streamed Wimbledon ever.

While this year’s men’s and women’s singles finalists are currently still being decided, you might want to start thinking about how and where you’re going to tune in. Many will surely be glued to their TV screens, but with good weather expected across Greater Manchester this weekend, you might want to take the opportunity to make the most of the sunshine and watch the matches outdoors or on the terraces of your favourite Manchester bars and restaurants.

This Sunday, guests can indulge in Wimbledon-inspired food and drink, whilst enjoying a spot of tennis from the comfort of the Ménagerie terrace. The restaurant on New Bailey St is screening the Wimbledon Finals live on an 11sqm outdoor TV screen in the garden area between 12-5pm.

There’ll be strawberries & cream, afternoon tea-style sandwiches and Pimm's, so all the quintessential British tennis food and drink staples accounted for. They’ll also be putting on a Bottomless Sunday Brunch encompassing prosecco, beer, house wine for two hours with your choice of Sunday Roast.
