Eastbourne is the grass court season's best-kept secret. The Lexus Eastbourne International runs the week before Wimbledon, on the same surface, with a field that includes some of the best women's players in the world sharpening their games before the fortnight that matters most. The venue — Devonshire Park — is intimate, well-organised, and entirely lacking in the crowds and logistical complexity of a Grand Slam. The tennis is serious. The atmosphere is not. It is the week when players are relaxed, accessible, and often playing their best grass court tennis of the season before the pressure of SW19 arrives.

Love Fifteen is the entry point into Eastbourne hospitality and it is set within the Welcome Building — a dedicated facility with beautiful views across the grounds, positioned to keep guests connected to the tournament atmosphere throughout the day rather than enclosed in a separate hospitality bubble away from the courts. The balcony overlooking the courts is the feature that makes the Welcome Building work as a hospitality venue in a way that a standard indoor facility would not. You eat, drink, and watch from the same building, and the transition between lunch and tennis is a matter of steps rather than a logistical exercise.

The food structure at Eastbourne Love Fifteen is more generous than its Queen's Club equivalent and reflects the longer day that a grass court event in June invites. A light breakfast of mini pastries and cold pressed juice opens the day — a detail that most hospitality packages at this price point do not include and which acknowledges that guests arriving for a full day of tennis are there from the beginning, not just for lunch. A Bucks fizz reception follows, leading into a hot and cold lunch buffet that covers the middle of the day without the formality of a plated menu. Afternoon tea with fresh English strawberries rounds out the food offer — the English strawberries being a deliberate nod to the season and the setting that earns a mention rather than simply appearing on a menu.

The complimentary bar runs throughout the day covering beer, selected wines, and soft drinks, with takeaway beverages permitted courtside. The Centre Court South Stand seats are Premium tier, positioned directly behind the baseline — the same seat position as the Club Lounge at Queen's Club, reading the serve and the first ball of every rally from the end from which the point begins. For a week of women's grass court tennis at Eastbourne, where serve-and-volley instincts and aggressive baseline play are the tactical signatures of the strongest performers, the baseline position is the most rewarding view on the court.

Private tables are available for groups of ten; smaller groups are allocated to shared tables in the relaxed Love Fifteen format. The informality of the package means shared tables work naturally — the Welcome Building atmosphere and the balcony setting create the kind of environment where the day unfolds socially regardless of who you arrived with.
