The last London Irish Big 5 game, End of Season Party, will kick off on April 23rd promising to be another wonderful day for families with activities and live entertainment alongside the last league game – London Irish vs. Northampton Saints.  To provide a unique experience for London Irish fans, The Big 5 event series combines activities and entertainment to support the exhilarating rugby games held throughout the year.  Many brands have been taking advantage of the opportunity, activating experiential campaigns and reaching an engaged audience of London Irish rugby fans and young families.

McCain Foods, principal partner of UK Athletics, has signed a partnership deal with the event and will be bringing its interactive McCain Track and Field road show experience to the London Irish End of Season Party. The McCain Track and Field roadshow will give youngsters the unique opportunity to try out the different basic elements of athletics in a fun environment.

As principal partner of UK Athletics we are committed to getting more families more active more often, and the McCain Track and Field Roadshow experience is an ideal introduction to the sport.
