The Boodles Challenge is a prestigious and intimate exhibition tennis event, held just before the only tennis grand slam in the professional tennis year, Wimbledon. This year, between the 26th-30th June 2018, watch world class tennis stars in a strictly limited capacity venue play on Wimbledon class courts for pocket friendly fees.
Juan Martin del Potro, Alexander Zverev and Nick Kyrgios have been confirmed as 2018 participants.
Great for players and spectators
Often called a summer party involving tennis, The Boodles may be less familiar than Queen’s which takes place in the same week, but it attracts leading players on the ATP tour, all eager to hone their grass court skills after the clay court season.
Sports agent Patricio Apey founded the event to help players achieve excellence on grass. The inaugural event, the Boodle and Dunthorne Champions Challenge, was held in 2002 over 4 days; in 2005 a 5th day was added. The Boodles challenge has hosted several Wimbledon champions from Andre Agassi to Novak Djokovic.
The event’s renowned sponsors, Boodles, the diamond jewellers, was established in 1798 and they, with the other high-end retailers who attend year on year, represent the finesse, acumen and craftsmanship required on and off court.
5* Tennis hospitality
Each year the Boodles takes place in the elegant grounds of the Stoke Park Country Club, just 35 miles outside of London.
Stoke Park is an AA Five Red Star Hotel which is the highest accolade given to hotels. Five red stars are awarded for outstanding facilities, service and customer experience. Stoke Park holds the AA Inspector’s Choice, joining 49 other hotels in the UK, including The Ritz and Claridge’s. A day spent here is charming, picturesque, exhilarating and quintessentially British.
Many corporate hospitality and private tennis hospitality clients prefer this venue to Queen’s Club and Wimbledon because it is easier to chat or network and less formal.
Tennis hospitality providers including DTB Sports and Events have been present at The Boodles for numerous years; their tennis hospitality talents and experience never disappoints. Create positive memories; increase brand awareness and loyalty or celebrate in style.
Corporate hospitality offers an outstanding return on investment for businesses; it is widely perceived as an integral marketing tool and your guests should welcome a day away from the workplace at an iconic sports event. In our digital age, face to face interaction is invaluable.
