Our annual Xmas scavenger hunt returns for a third year…
On Thursday 29 November @ 7pm we’re organising a Christmas ‘scavenger hunt run’ around Wimbledon Village and the surrounding area to discover some fun and interesting sights and to collect various items! The run will be followed by drinks at The Wimbledon Club.
Our Christmas ‘scavenger hunt run’ starts and finishes at The Wimbledon Club on Church Road (opposite the All England Club). You will be divided into teams of varying speeds/abilities, given a list of places/items to find/collect with all team members before heading back to The Wimbledon Club by 8pm. The team who finds/collects the most items will win the hunt and receive prizes!
Prosecco/soft drinks will be pre-ordered so that everything is ready for us after the run. The cost of the refreshments is £20 per person and gives you about two glasses of Prosecco/soft drinks & some nibbles. The run is free to all. We hope that you can make the run and drinks!
