Leicester Tigers will have a five-week pop-up shop in John Lewis at Highcross Leicester in the run up to Christmas.

As well as the Club Shop at Mattioli Woods Welford Road stadium and online, Tigers will also have a city centre presence during the busiest time of the year, based on the third floor of the John Lewis store from next Monday (November 22) right up to Christmas Eve.

Stocked items will include home and change replica kits, leisurewear, accessories, gifts for all and also two exclusive Captains Collections shirts which will only be able for purchase at John Lewis!

A member of the Tigers ticket office team will also be on site to deal with ticket purchases, including for the festive fixtures against Harlequins on Sunday December 5, Connacht Rugby in the Heineken Champions Cup on Sunday, December 19 and the New Year game with Newcastle Falcons on January 2. Half Season Tickets will also be available, covering nine home games in the second part of the season, with prices from £140 adults, £45 under-18s.

Kyle Hougham, the club’s retail stores manager, said: “We’re really excited to be able to bring a full Tigers experience to John Lewis during the holiday period. The location should provide added convenience for ‘Click & Collect’ orders alongside the definitive product selection and quality service you would expect in a John Lewis store. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on!”

Season ticket holder discount is available and any Tigers credits on supporters’ accounts can be used on purchases at the pop-up shop.
