Tennis fan? Didn’t get tickets for Wimbledon? Fear not because down at First Street they’ve set up a huge 20sq metre outdoor screen where you can enjoy all the action from the comfort of a deckchair, completely free of charge.
Wimbledon wouldn’t be Wimbledon without strawberries and cream so HOME is offering the classic dessert combo and an outdoor bar, too. Plus Starbucks are serving up strawberry and cream frapas, with 10% off!
For something savoury, Pizza Express are marking 30% off all their takeaway items and Indian Tiffin Room are also on hand if you fancy something spicy.

Forget the red carpet because First Street goes one better with a green carpet they’ve been busy unrolling so you can enjoy free tennis sessions on a pop-up court at the weekends.
If you prefer to relax watching the match, there are bean bags and deck chairs so you can sit out in the special outdoor area.
First Street spans over 20 acres of city centre space and with lots of retail, leisure and cultural opportunities going on, it makes an ideal place to watch Wimbledon this summer without leaving Manchester.
New balls please!
