Ahead of this year’s Wimbledon Championships, Aberdeenshire’s Meldrum House Country Hotel has targeted tennis fans with a one-off special event featuring Scottish internationalist tennis player, tennis-coach, Strictly Come Dancing contestant, novelist and mother to Grand Slam champions Jamie and Andy Murray, Judy Murray OBE.
Supported by Aberdeen brand agency Imajica, Meldrum’s Wimbledon day on Thursday 19th June will be an opportunity to hear some stories from Murray’s illustrious career, as well as delving into some ‘behind the scenes tales’ from both the tennis tour and the Strictly ballroom.
The day will begin with an exclusive Wimbledon-themed Champagne Afternoon Tea, sponsored by Laurent Perrier, for only 30 guests, to be held at lunchtime in its Titan Sky Bar.
Then in the evening there will be a special dinner for up to 150 guests, with drinks sponsors LaurentPerrier, and a selection of fine wines from Corney & Barrow, which will include a Q&A session with Judy, hosted by comedian Fred MacAulay.
The event has been timed to coincide with the ATP Tennis Tournament at the Queen’s Club, which falls just ahead of this year’s Championships at Wimbledon, which kick off at the end of June.
Judy said: “I’m really looking forward to heading to Aberdeen at the height of the grass court season.
“Tennis has shaped my entire life so I’m looking forward to sharing experiences and insights and answering lots of interesting questions from the guests. Plus, I love working with Fred, so I’ve no doubt, there will be plenty of great banter.”
Judy is currently involved in a campaign to encourage more women into tennis across the UK, as well as launching the Judy Murray Foundation to ensure affordable and accessible tennis in some of the most deprived areas of Scotland.
