The French Open is over, which means Wimbledon is just around the corner...

And we have a ticket giveaway to a very special event: Wimbledon Rematch 1980.

This is your chance to go back in time and experience everything as if you were there in 1980: the fashion, the food, the music, and, of course, the tennis!

It was that summer when Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe faced off for probably the greatest tennis match of all time. And you can see that match again – with a Pimm’s, obviously!

Wimbledon Rematch 1980: On Sale Now!

After an 1980s immersion experience, guests will then be able to relive the 1980 Gentlemen’s Final in a totally new, immersive and unique way.

The event takes place across five separate sessions in June, on Friday 28, Saturday 29 and Sunday 30, at Wembley’s Troubadour Theatre.

To win tickets on Smooth, make sure you're listening to the Smooth Drive Home from 4 to 7pm all week on Smooth London. Keep listening out for a tennis-themed question, and text in your answer.
