Wimbledon may be over but there’s still plenty of tennis action being served up at Eastbourne this summer.
Devonshire Park, with its award-winning grass courts, will be hosting events – free to spectators – throughout July and August.
In addition, there will be a pop-up DQ Café and Bar within the Locker Room – used by international tennis stars during the recent Rothesay International tournament – open to spectators and players during the tennis events.
The tennis action kicks off with the LTA Summer County Cup (Group 1) from 18-22 July with men and women from Kent, Hertfordshire, Yorkshire, Essex, Hampshire & Isle of Wight, Surrey, Cambridgeshire, Northumberland and the east of Scotland competing.
The GB Ladies Over 35s Inter-County Cup is on from 28-31 July and the following month it’s the turn of the Devonshire Park South of England Open Championships between 1-6 August.
The GB Men’s Over 35s Inter-County Cup competition is on from 11-14 August and finally the British Open Masters Grass Court Championships takes place between 22-27 August.
Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council’s Lead Member for Tourism and Culture, said, “The Rothesay International Eastbourne tennis tournament and Wimbledon may well be over but there’s still some ace tennis happening in our town this summer.
“I would encourage people to go along to the Devonshire Park tennis events and see for themselves just what has attracted so many top tennis stars – including Andy Murray, Serena Williams, Johanna Konta and Cameron Norrie – to our town.
“It is also an ideal opportunity for people to see the transformation of the Devonshire Quarter, the Welcome Building with its hugely popular DQ Terrace Café and Bar and the newly refurbished Winter Garden and Congress Theatre.
“The work that has gone into the transformation of the facilities has really put the Devonshire Quarter on the map as a top destination for residents and visitors alike.”
