Figure image
The Aviva Premiership Fan Village at Twickenham Stadium is open from 11.30am until 7pm on Saturday with activities and attractions for supporters of all ages.

The Aviva Arena and Trophy Lift

Visit the inflatable Aviva Arena, get your face painted and have your photo taken with the Aviva Premiership Rugby trophy.

The trophy will be in the Fan Village from 1pm to 1.45pm and fans will have the chance to have their photos taken with it and to see the final Trophy Lift-off.

The Aviva Premiership Rugby Trophy Lift has been taking place at Premiership Rugby clubs around the country this season as fans were challenged to hold the trophy in front of them for as long as possible and a winner from each club will be at Twickenham to take part in the ‘Final Lift-Off’. The best time was an impressive 2min 20sec by Exeter Chiefs fan George Cook. Will that time be beaten on Saturday?

Land Rover unique experiences

As the official vehicle of Premiership Rugby, Land Rover will be offering a number of activities for fans to get involved in at South Car Park on Saturday.

For any Land Rover owners, Land Rover has an exclusive VIP owners hospitality space just for you. Simply bring your Land Rover car key to the stand in the South Car Park between 12-3pm, and you and a friend will be treated to a free gourmet burger and soft drink courtesy of Land Rover. A limited number of gourmet burgers will be available on the day, so arrive early to avoid missing out. Maximum two adults permitted per Land Rover key.

In addition, Land Rover invite everyone to have a go at driving some of their fantastic radio-control Land Rover cars on the unique courses that really test the vehicle’s capability. There are different levels of tracks to tackle and all are great fun, so bring all the family along for a go.

The new Range Rover Sport will be at the Land Rover stand following its unveiling in New York just a few weeks ago and is yet to be seen on the roads over here.

Grand Prix Racing makes a pit-stop
