Why Sutton's Court? 

The name celebrates a fascinating piece of Reading's Wimbledon story. 

Founded on this very spot in 1806, Suttons Seeds grew into one of the world's best-known seed suppliers and helped establish Reading as one of the town's famous "Three Bs" – biscuits, beer and bulbs. 

Since 1922, Suttons Seeds has supplied lawn seed to the All England Lawn Tennis Club, helping maintain the iconic grass courts used during The Championships. So while Centre Court may be 40 miles away, a little piece of Reading has been part of Wimbledon history for more than a century.
