As part of our goal of Tennis Opened Up and to make tennis as inclusive a sport as possible, we want to reiterate our ongoing support during Pride Month for LGBTQ+ communities across the country, and highlight that our events, along with the sport as a whole, are safe, inclusive and open spaces where people can be their authentic selves.
That’s why every friday of our major events in 2023 will once again host ‘Friday Pride Days’. These events place a special focus on Pride and act as a platform to raise visibility and awareness of LGBTQ+ inclusion in tennis.
We’d love it if as many people as possible attending the Rothesay Open brought as much colour as they can to the Nottingham Tennis Centre. Whether it’s simply wearing rainbow laces or a wristband, or wearing your brightest, most colourful t-shirt or pair of trousers, it would be fantastic if you could show your colours in support of Pride.
Volunteers from the Pride in Tennis network will be on-site throughout the day, to answer any questions fans have about Pride celebrations or what you can do to show support as allies of LGBTQ+ communities.
Unfortunately there is no left luggage facility on site. Spectators may not bring a bag larger than 16” x 12” x 12” (40cm x 30cm x 30cm) into the grounds. For your safety, all bags are subject to inspection by our security team and are brought to the tournament at the owner’s risk.
Check out our conditions of entry for guidance on what is prohibited on site.
Speak to your nearest volunteer for any lost property enquiries.
After the Rothesay Open Nottingham, all lost property will be kept at Nottingham Tennis Centre. The Centre is contactable by calling 0115 876 1600.
More information about the Rothesay Open Nottingham merchandise will be available soon.
You can beat the queues at the venue and pre-purchase a commemorative programme which features exclusive content on the 2023 Rothesay Open! You will then be able to collect your programme when you arrive.
If you wish to leave and re-enter the grounds you will need to collect a wristband from a Security team member on exiting the grounds. In order to be re-admitted you will need to show both the wristband and a valid ticket.
Your safety and security are very important to us and our security plans are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain in line with the latest threat level and recommendations from Nottinghamshire Police and our security advisors.
During the tournament, we would ask everyone arriving to remain patient, follow the instructions given by our Security Stewards and allow plenty of time for bag search entry checks. Please check our official social media channels and website for any further updates and information.
Our Volunteers are spread all over the tournament grounds. They are here to help you enjoy your visit, so don’t be surprised if they pop up to say hello if you look lost.
We hope you have a fantastic day at the Rothesay Open Nottingham, but if you do see something which doesn't look right, please tell the closest Volunteer or Security Steward, who will be more than happy to help.
