Braintree Village kicks off summer of sport with World Cup and Wimbledon activations at Braintree Village

Braintree Village is officially kick starting the summer of
sport with a wave of free family friendly football-themed events and live
tennis screenings taking place throughout July.

To mark the World Cup, Braintree Village will have
‘Subsoccer’ bench stations – which pit two players against each other in a
competitive seated football match - alongside a life-sized football selfie
cut-out for the perfect photo opportunity to mark the occasion.

What’s more, a free football extravaganza is set to take
place on Sunday 12th July. Headlining the day is freestyle footballer and
content creator, Harriet Pavlou, who will be on-site from 10am-5pm performing
tricks and hosting workshops where guests can try their hand at freestyle
footballing, while Braintree Town FC’s beloved mascot, Buddy, will be making a
special appearance to meet fans and pose for photos.

The sporting excitement continues as tennis fans will be
able to soak up all the Wimbledon action while visiting the centre. From Monday
29th June - Sunday 12th July, a dedicated station featuring comfortable
loungers with built-in mini televisions to screen live matches will be located
outside the Nike store.

To complete the viewing experience, guests can pick up free
strawberries and white chocolate from 12noon – 2pm on 4th-5th July and
11th-12th July at Cappadocia Moments.
