How to spend Father’s Day in Wimbledon

As Father’s Day approaches this Sunday 20th June, we’ve put together practical, useful gift ideas for every type of Dad, with presents that he will actually use.

Give him a gift that he definitely won’t forget. The unique experience of Cryotherapy at The F.I.T Partnership will leave your dad feeling amazing physical and mental benefits of a 2-3 minute session in freezing temperatures (-110 degrees celsius). Particularly effective on those who have migraines, chronic pain, inflammatory conditions, such as psoriasis or arthritis, and so much more. Add some adventure to his health routine and give him a chilly treat!

     

Show your appreciation over a cold brew, by treating your father to a meal at healthy eating cafe Lu-Ma, Pizza Express or cosy pub The Old Frizzle, where dads receive a complimentary pint of beer, ale or larger. ⁠Or treat Dad to brunch, lunch or dinner with great indulgent burgers like the Mighty Block Burger at Bar + Block Steakhouse, or a crispy Buttermilk Chicken Burger at Bill’s. Both venues are family-friendly so you can turn it into a family affair for all, including the young and hungry. Choose to celebrate at Grilandia and dad will receive a complimentary special dessert.

Put a smile on his face with an advanced ticket for a night of comedy at New Wimbledon Theatre, or check out Elys Father’s Day Gift Edit which includes great gift inspiration like a whiskey tumbler set and 007 dry martini truffles. A home-made gift can be a thoughtful surprise – why not try your hand at baking some Father’s Day cookies or his favourite cake, with great kitchenware at Lakeland, or if he’s the BBQ king, give him a present that will make him feel like charring royalty. Gift him the perfect summer drink with a great selection of wines, spirits and beers from Majestic Wine – a great accompaniment to a feast in his honour.
