The Boodles

Reaching the grand old age of 21, this fabulous tennis event shows no sign of slowing down

The Boodles has, in recent years, made a habit of attracting some of the biggest names in tennis, while o ering guests the unique chance of an opportunity to get up close and personal with the players.

It is hosted within Stoke Park's stunning 300-acre estate in the Buckinghamshire countryside, perhaps the most pictureperfect setting in the English tennis scene. It also has an intimate purpose built stadium of only 2,000 and with no seat further than ten metres from the grass court, The Boodles allows you to be breathtakingly close to the action.

The Boodles is truly a unique event and the most lavish warm-up for The Championships at Wimbledon. It is a heady mix of high calibre tennis featuring Wimbledon stars, combined with a day of unmatched hospitality on the manicured lawns of Stoke Park’s 17th century estate. It has a fun English garden party atmosphere, with world-class tennis being played in intimate and beautiful surroundings. Whether a hospitality guest, or a stadium pass ticket holder, The Boodles is a wonderful experience and is the perfect opportunity to socialise in an exclusive fashion in the heart of the British Summer Social Season.

In 2019, the last time The Boodles took place due to the pandemic, players included seven of the world’s top 20 including stars such as Wimbledon Champion and World No.1 Novak Djokovic, World No.3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, Fabio Fognini, Grigor Dimitrov, Karen Kachanov, and Diego Schwartzman. Past players have also included tennis megastars such as Rafa Nadal, Andy Murray, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras.

Excitement is high as 2023 sees the return of this much-loved event, with event organisers ACE Group, alongside Stoke Park’s new owners, looking to further enhance The Boodles experience. Even though Stoke Park’s estate is still currently closed due to a major restoration project, they are very excited to be hosting The Boodles, which is taking place from 27 June–1 July.

In 2023 title sponsor, Boodles Jewellers, will return and display some of their finest pieces much to the delight of all the guests as well as stunning Patek Philippe watches. Hospitality guests will enjoy magnificent cuisine from award-winning chef, Chris Wheeler.

The Boodles host for the week will be the wonderful sports TV presenter Di Dougherty, who has hosted events regularly over the past 10 years and is always a huge hit with the crowds. Bring on the summer!
