Football Fun, Tennis and Racing Cars Summer of Sport at Clarks Village

Clarks
Village is bringing the excitement of a summer of sport into its gardens with
three interactive zones celebrating the World Cup, Wimbledon and Formula 1.

The
Somerset shopping outlet will host football-themed games and live tennis
screenings with prizes for guests to enjoy.

To
mark the World Cup, a giant inflatable football goal and touch wall from top
sporting brand Pro Direct will take centre stage. Every weekend until the World
Cup final, guests can test their skills by scoring a goal to earn their turn on
a ‘Spin to Win’ wheel, with prizes including Pro Direct gift vouchers,
footballs and in-store discounts.

The
football fun continues with ‘Subsoccer’ bench football stations – which pits
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.

The
football goal and touch wall prize-winning activities will be hosted on
Saturdays and Sundays until 19^th July, with additional activities
available daily.

Meanwhile,
tennis enthusiasts can take a break to enjoy the highlights of Wimbledon, from
Monday 29^th June to Sunday 12^th July, with a dedicated
station featuring comfortable loungers with built-in mini televisions to screen
live matches.

Adding
to the traditional courtside atmosphere, British homeware brand Christy will
serve strawberries and cream outside its new store, as well as showcasing its
official Wimbledon collection of Championship towels and elegant robes.

Guests
can also take part in a daily treasure hunt for the duration of the tournament,
by finding one of 10 hidden tennis balls each day to win a free gift at the
Christy store. Christy will also be serving branded ice creams from a gelato
cart on Saturday 4^th and Saturday 11^th July, from
12pm-5pm.

Finally,
throughout August, Clarks Village will host Lightning Loop; a mini race-track
experience located on the lawn of Shoemakers Museum.

Children
aged 4-10 will be able to ride mini, interactive F1 race cars around an
inflatable racetrack, featuring a starting grid, finish line, chequered flag,
winners podium and an oversized trophy for an all-important photo on finishing.

The
racetrack and cars will be branded bright orange in tribute to F1 racing driver
Lando Norris who hails from Somerset. This is Clarks Village's second tribute
to Norris, after officially renaming one of its pedestrianised avenues ‘Lando
Lane’ when he became F1 World Champion.

Lightning
Loop tickets will be priced at £8, or £6 for PLUS+ members (Clarks Village’s
free rewards programme).

Mike
Jones, Centre Director of Clarks Village, commented: “We’re looking forward to
bringing the magic of the World Cup, Wimbledon and Formula 1 to life with these
fun brand activations. Set within our beautiful, landscaped gardens, it’s the
perfect spot to join in the fun of our football games or relax in our Wimbledon
loungers to celebrate a summer of sport, as well as a visit to our infamous
Lando Lane during the summer holidays for our brand-new racing car experience.”

Village is located in Street, less than 25 minutes from the M5 and A303, with a
