At 5:30pm, Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace kicks off live on the big screens, bringing Eagles fans together for another matchday at BOXPARK Croydon.
Over the past decade, the venue has cemented its place as one of South London’s most vibrant destinations for food, culture and entertainment, serving over 7 million dishes from its independent street food traders, bringing millions of visitors together to eat, drink and celebrate. From Stormzy’s surprise 2017 homecoming performance and Fatboy Slim’s headline return in 2022, to its much-loved regular events including the Big Fat Quizbox, Friday Feelings, Saturday Sessions and Hip-Hop Karaoke.
Since opening next to East Croydon station in 2016, the venue has traded for more than 46,000 hours, hosted DJ sets equating to 3 years of continuous music, served over 10 million drinks and screened over 2500 sports matches.

From matchdays and live music to family celebrations, big nights out and everything in between, we’ve welcomed millions of guests through our doors and created a place where people can come together and make memories. We’re excited to celebrate this special birthday with the Croydon community, and what better way to mark ten years than with a huge party, free drinks, live entertainment and plenty of BOXPARK fun.”
