From the launch of Fitnic – Sweaty Betty’s empowering London Fitness Picnic – to a night dedicated to Provençal rosé and an exhibition by a brilliant local artist, we round up the best things to do in and around Wimbledon this weekend…
FITNIC X SWEATY BETTY
Say what? The London Fitness Picnic aims to “bring women together through fitness”, and it’s coming to Wimbledon for the first time this weekend. After a one-hour fitness class hosted by Sweaty Betty ambassadors, there’ll be a delicious and healthy picnic to share, whipped up by a creative local food producer – think Vietnamese, Mediterranean and more – and music playing. An outdoor fitness regime in a fun social setting, with guilt-free treats afterwards – what’s not to love? And don’t fret if you miss the first one: you will find ‘Fitnic’ on Wimbledon Common Southside, just two minutes’ walk from Wimbledon Village, every other Saturday morning until 12th October.
When: Every other Saturday, 11am – 1pm; 8th June – 12th October 2019
Where: Southside Common, Wimbledon, London SW19 5AX

PROVENCE ROSÉ DINNER
It is finally that time of the year when it’s OK to pop open your favourite pink drink again: nothing says summer more than a glass of chilled rosé. Go on a journey to Provence with Peter Edwards from multi award-winning wine producer Mirabeau to discover some of the world’s best rosé. Thanks to 300 days of sunshine every year, Provence leads the world in producing dry and gastronomic rosé wines, and you’ll get to taste that liquid sunshine at Hotel du Vin’s special dining event.
The evening consists of arrival drinks and canapés at 7pm, followed by a three-course menu paired with five wines, after-dinner coffee and petit fours.
