Shoppers can enjoy a summer of sport at Westgate Oxford as live tennis is set to be shown from a big screen in the shopping centre.

The shopping centre is launching the special summer pop-up especially for Wimbledon, with lawns and deckchairs as well as strawberries and cream on offer against the backdrop of a large digital screen.

The 'Wimbledon at Westgate' pop-up will be free to attend, with no tickets required. 

All Wimbledon matches will be shown live on the big screen and guests can kick back and relax on the grass area or in a deckchair.
