Celebrating tennis culture, fashion and traditions throughout history, this exhibition brings together posters dating from 1893 to the present day and explores how the glamour of tennis has been used to advertise fashion, film and everything in-between. One of the major highlights on display will be the white dress from the 1970s Athena 'Tennis Girl' poster which was first featured on the 1977 calendar before making its way onto the iconic poster which sold more than two million copies world wide. The official poster for The Championships 2015 will also be on show, designed but artist and illustrator Yulia Brodskaya. The tour must be booked in advance and a discounted rate is available for groups. Book here.
