St. Patrick’s Day may officially be over for another year, but that won’t stop the craic at London Irish Rugby Club, where the celebrations will continue on Saturday, 25 March for its annual St Patrick’s Party.
This year The Exiles will be hosting Northampton Saints for its St. Patrick’s Party at the Gtech Community Stadium in West London – kick off 5.30pm. With tickets available from just £25/adult and £10/child, the club is offering fans a day full of Irish entertainment and great food and drink, in addition to watching the Gallagher Premiership match between two playoff hopefuls. Get your tickets for the big day here!
Going into Round 21 of 24, The Exiles currently sit 5th in the league, one spot behind Northampton Saints, with only the top four progressing to the play-offs. With 16,000+ fans in attendance, Six Nations internationals returning to the fold, and some fantastic live music & dancing throughout, there is no better place to extend your St. Patrick’s festivities this year.
Fan Village
London Irish’s St Patrick’s Party will start at 1pm, when the Fan Village opens. Supporters will be able to tuck into some tasty street food and enjoy a drink while listening to live music from The Reels and the Biblecode Sundays, who both performed at the annual Patrick’s Festival in Trafalgar Square this year. They will be performing throughout the afternoon on the main stage, with a DJ keeping the party going through to 4:30pm.
Family Area
The Family Area will be located in the West Stand car park and will feature inflatables, a rodeo rugby ball, face painters, balloon modellers and pick and mix for junior fans to enjoy. The festivities extend right around the stadium to the East Stand Piazza, where you’ll find London Irish legends ‘The 301 Bar’ in their usual spot alongside some tasty treats for fans to savour.
Pre-Game
Inside the stadium the build up to kick-off will include the London Irish choir, comprising hundreds of children from local schools, along with a parade of junior rugby clubs who participated in the club’s Rugby Festival at Gunnersbury Park earlier in the day.
Half-time and Post-match
At half-time fans can stay in their seats to watch Irish dancers Scoil Rince Céim Óir, while the club will run its popular High-ball Hopefuls competition where fans can win prizes by catching high balls on the pitch. All accompanied by more live music from Ronan McManus. Celebrations will continue, as ever, in the Dugout, with Biblecode Sundays again performing live.
Don’t miss out on a celebration like no other at the Gtech Community Stadium. Gather your friends & family to experience true London Irish craic with the last remaining tickets available from https://www.eticketing.co.uk/londonirish/EDP/Event/Index/81
