Can you play on the Wimbledon courts?

Wimbledon's hallowed courts have played host to some of the most iconic moments in Tennis history.

The grounds, owned by the All England Lawn Tennis Ground, span more than 42 acres and has the capacity to hold up to 42,000 spectators.

There are a total of 46 courts at Wimbledon; but can you play on them?

Can you play on the Wimbledon courts?

In short, yes. However, players are not allowed to use Centre Court and other Show Courts that are only in use for the Championships. The remaining grass courts are in play from May to September and are used by club members and LTA-sponsored players.

The eight American clay courts on the site are available for use all year round.

The Club has more than 500 members that use the courts year round, however, it is a fairly exclusive club.

Singer Cliff Richard, the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and former governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King (not of darts fame) all hold memberships at SW19.

Membership categories are divided into five: full, life, honorary, temporary and junior temporary. With a waiting list of around 1,000 people going back many years, prospective members may have to exercise some patience to get their turn.
