The Big Tent will only be up in the Common for another four days before we see it again next year. The Lady Wimbledon team have already got their fix for this year with Cathy Newman’s interview about her new book Bloody Brilliant Women but there’s a fantastic variety of talks to book. Our local Wimbledon Brewery will also be on hand to quench your thirst whilst queing up.
