To ensure players and fans have the best possible experience at the Lexus British Open, we have set the following guidelines for when you are in and around the courts:
- Please keep noise to a minimum during play.
- Please don’t leave your seat unless players are at the bench.
- Mobile phones must be switched off in the vicinity of the courts.
- Please be respectful of those around you by ensuring that you do not obstruct their view or cause any unnecessary inconvenience.
- Flash photography is strictly forbidden in the stands.
- Photographic equipment with lenses of more than 300mm, when extended, is not permitted on site.
Gates will open to the public at 9.30am every day.
If you require first aid, please speak to one of the event team or volunteers around the grounds.
Spectators may bring food into the grounds, along with non-alcoholic drinks. Glass containers are not permitted in the stands.
We have water refill points around the Lexus British Open. We’d encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle to take advantage of these free water refill points throughout your day.
As part of our goal of Tennis Opened Up and to make tennis as inclusive a sport as possible, we want to reiterate our ongoing support during Pride Month for LGBTQ+ communities across the country, and highlight that our events, along with the sport as a whole, are safe, inclusive and open spaces where people can be their authentic selves.
That’s why every Friday of our major events in 2024 will once again host ‘Friday Pride Days’. These events place a special focus on Pride and act as a platform to raise visibility and awareness of LGBTQ+ inclusion in tennis.
We’d love it if as many people as possible attending the British Open brought as much colour as they can. Whether it’s simply wearing rainbow laces or a wristband, or wearing your brightest, most colourful t-shirt or pair of trousers, it would be fantastic if you could show your colours in support of Pride.
Unfortunately there is no left luggage facility on site. Spectators may not bring a bag larger than 16” x 12” x 12” (40cm x 30cm x 30cm) into the grounds. For spectator safety all bags are subject to inspection by our security team and are brought to the Tournament at the owner’s risk.
Please refer to the conditions of entry for guidance on what is prohibited on site.
All lost property will be taken to the entrance marquee.
Test your skills on the court! There will be some mini tennis courts near the Guest Village where you can have a hit throughout the day.
