The 139th Wimbledon Championships are underway, with the All England Club in Wimbledon hosting 128 singles players and 64 doubles teams in each draw, the tournament set to conclude on Sunday 12th July.
Alongside the tennis, fans will once again be tucking into the famous strawberries and cream, with the fresh strawberries supplied by Hugh Lowe Farms, who have served Wimbledon for more than 25 years, drizzled with thick cream.
More than 190,000 pots of the indulgent dessert are expected to be sold during the 14-day Championships, racking up around £540,000 in sales.
A portion had been held at £2.50 for around a decade before rising to £2.70 in 2025 and now £2.85 this year. That’s a 14% rise over the last ten years, in contrast to the average UK house price, which has climbed 35% over the same period. Source: Dataloft by PriceHubble, Wimbledon, Nationwide June 2026
