Summer may seem like aeons away yet, at QEHB Charity, we have our eyes keenly set upon the sights of strawberries & cream and watching tennis players battling it out for the highly coveted trophy at the Aegon Classic.

The event, taking place on Monday, 13th June, will be held at the famous Edgbaston Priory Club, which has hosted some world-class names, such as Karolina Pliskova.

Reputedly known as the best lead up to Wimbledon, the event is popular with groups of school children, families, professionals and sport-lovers alike.

Justine Davy, Head of Fundraising at QEHB Charity, said: “The Aegon Classic is such an enjoyable event, and we are delighted to be able to raise awareness for the charity once more. The event provides fun for all ages, and is a catalyst for brewing anticipation and excitement for Wimbledon.

We hope that many come to Edgbaston Priory Club on the 13th June to witness world-class tennis matches, as well as hoping that the Great British rain stays away for the day!

All attendees will receive a wonderful QEHB Charity goody bag.”
