What's on in July?

classic racecars lines up at the Goodwood festival of speed

With summer in full swing, it’s time to grab your family and friends and head off to explore the best events the UK has to offer.

Whether it’s with a train from London Kings Cross station, a train into Newcastle train station or a trip to York, there is bound to be an event near to you…   

Wimbledon

A firm favourite on Britain’s list of most-loved sporting events, Wimbledon 2019 takes place this year from 1st July – 14th July in south-west London.

One of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world, Wimbledon has been played since 1877 and regularly climaxes with one of the most nail-biting tennis finals on the circuit.

Although the ballot for this year’s tickets has now closed, you can still get tickets on the door, based on a queueing first-come-first-serve system. People are known to queue overnight to be in with a chance of getting their hands on a ticket, so plan accordingly if you are desperate to get a seat for Centre Court!
