Our favourite four-legged friends are invited to collected a free Southside tennis ball during Wimbledon, and be in with a chance of winning £100.
Running throughout the Wimbledon Championships from 29 June to 12 July, the centre will be giving away 128 dog-friendly tennis balls – a nod to the 128 players who compete in the Gentlemen’s and Ladies’ Singles tournaments.
The giveaway celebrates Southside being a dog-friendly shopping centre, while encouraging visitors and their furry companions to enjoy everything the centre has to offer during one of Britain’s biggest sporting events.
Dog owners can collect a free, limited-edition Southside dog-friendly tennis ball from 29 June at Southside’s brand-new Guest Hub between 12pm and 5pm. Available exclusively to Southside PLUS+ members, the complimentary tennis balls will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.*

As part of the giveaway, Southside is also launching a special dog selfie competition. Visitors are encouraged to snap a photo of their dog with their new tennis ball and share it on social media using the hashtag #DogsOfSouthside for the chance to win a £100 to spend at a retailer of their choice within the shopping centre. To create the perfect photo opportunity, a dedicated dog selfie spot has also been installed within the centre.
Shannon Reed, Centre Director at Southside Shopping Centre, said, “Wimbledon is one of the highlights of the British summer, and we wanted to celebrate it in a way that reflects what makes Southside unique. As a dog-friendly destination, giving away tennis balls for our four-legged visitors felt like the perfect fit.
“Dogs have a natural love of chasing, fetching and playing with balls, so we’re confident there will be lots of wagging tails for our limited-edition branded tennis balls. It’s a fun way to bring together the excitement of Wimbledon with the welcoming, community-focused atmosphere we’re proud to offer at Southside, while giving our canine companions something special to enjoy too.”
