Looking for a good day out.

I am looking to have a couple of days off work next week with a couple of mates, looking for a sporting event or something we can have a good crack and a few beers. Wimbledon is one idea, is there anything else happening?

There's bound to be a decent race meet somewhere. The horses is a cracking day out.

 

If you want to have a decent day at Wimbledon watching the tennis in the second week rather than the big screen you will need to be in the queue by about 08:00 at the very latest (ideally earlier). This is because the plum matches will be on Courts 18, 12 and 3 and they will fill up quickly. You won't be able to get show court tickets unless you camp out or get there uber-early. Unless you're all into tennis and prepared to put some effort in I wouldn't bother. Having said that, if it's just about the craic and you go on Monday then the entire 4th round is played so (assuming he wins today) you could watch Murray, Fed and Nadal on the hill and there's ample opportunity to get the jars in in the sunshine (£4+ a pint, mind) as well as perv at fit lasses. There will also be some girls matches being played on the lesser courts and some of the Russians/yanks etc are massively ****some. A girls' doubles match up close with four blond hardbodies is quite a thing.

 

Failing that, you could try a medieval fort or a Victorian folly.
