US EditionThe Details And History Of Wimbledon’s Strawberries And Cream
- During the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, over 55 tons of Grade 1 English strawberries from Hugh Lowe Farms were handpicked and served with 13,241 liters of cream to fans in late June and early July.
- Strawberries have long been associated with Wimbledon because they are in season during the tournament, but refrigeration and regional growing now enable near year-round availability of fresh berries.
- Wimbledon ensures quality by performing multiple checks on the strawberries as they are delivered and distributed, while new plantings secure future crops, and plant-based cream alternatives are offered to visitors.
- Wimbledon served 251,405 portions of strawberries and cream priced at £2.70 in 2024, marking the first price rise in 15 years, and visitors consumed nearly 2 million individual berries during the event.
- The strawberries and cream tradition at Wimbledon reflects both a seasonal heritage and modern food sourcing, enhancing fan experience and maintaining the tournament's reputation for quality British food and drink.
