The Chicago Bears are heading to London this October, bringing a full and varied schedule of fan activities to the capital. The week has been designed to create activities for new and existing fans wanting to immerse themselves in Bears traditions and Chicago culture.
For fans of Chicago:
From Monday 13th to Sunday 19th October, the Bears’ presence moves from the gallery to Beechwood Sports Pub in Shoreditch, which will undergo a full blue-and-orange takeover for the Team Pub Week. Beechwood will serve as a home for fans all week, where they can enjoy photo opportunities and sample a Chicago-inspired menu featuring favourites such as the Soldier Sandwich, the Monsters of the Midway Cheeseburger, and the Chicago Dog.
Fans wanting to test their Bears’ knowledge:
On Thursday 16th October, Beechwood hosts the Chicago Bears Pub Quiz Night. Fans can test their knowledge across a Chicago-themed sport, music, and general trivia test while competing for exclusive prizes in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The quiz runs from 6pm to 9pm, with questions kicking off at 7pm. Tables can be booked in advance or fans can walk in on the night to join in.
For fans who dance as hard as they cheer:
Friday 17th October brings Chicago Bears DJ Night to Beechwood, where the energy will be electric with sets from DJ Hayley Kennedy and Tottenham Hotspur’s official DJ, Zoe London. Fans can expect a high-octane mix of UK club classics, dance anthems, and crowd favourites that will have everyone on their feet, running from 7pm to 11pm, with DJ sets at 7:45pm and 8:30pm.
For fans wanting the Bears gameday experience:
The week culminates on Sunday 19th October, with the Chicago Bears Tailgate & Watch Party at Beechwood. The day kicks off with the Tailgate Truck experience from 4pm to 6pm, complete with giveaways, fan games, and pop-up activities designed to capture the excitement of an authentic Chicago gameday. From 6pm, fans can settle in for the Bears vs. Saints Watch Party alongside fellow supporters, as well as a star guest appearance from Bears legend Charles “Peanut” Tillman.
Sarah Smith, VP of Fan Development and Brand Marketing, Chicago Bears said: “This trip is about continuing to offer fans a way to authentically engage with the Bears team. We were delighted to play in the Tottenham stadium last year, and the fanbase in the capital was electric. We wanted to continue to celebrate our connection with the fans here and bring them a week of incredible Bears experiences. Whether it’s through art, food, or culture, we’re bringing the Chicago spirit to the UK in new and unexpected ways.”
