Allianz Stadium will continue its now five-year tradition of hosting local and charity groups at the stadium for its annual Christmas lunch on 13th December. The event, which will see around 300 guests enjoy the very best Christmas hospitality, many of them on their first visit to the stadium, represents just one of a series of initiatives the venue hosts to support local communities and bring them together around the iconic stadium.
The event will see seven local groups and charities enjoy a traditional Christmas lunch with entertainment including pitchside photographs and even a Rock Choir for singing and dancing. The event is staffed by around 40 volunteers from within the Allianz Stadium team, formerly known as Twickenham Stadium.
“This really means something to everyone at Allianz Stadium,” comments Nils Braude, Managing Director, Twickenham Experience Limited. “It’s something we’ve been doing for a few years now and the staff here love to get involved. For us, it allows us to give a positive experience, a hot meal, and good company to those in our community who are less fortunate and more isolated, at a time of year when many could do with positive social interactions.”
Community groups who attend the event, include, Bridgelink Centre, Ivybridge
Homelink Whitton, Whitton Youth Zone, Cole Park Residents Association, St Margarets, Vineyard Project, and St Mary’s Church, Isleworth. The venue will also provide coach transport for the Vineyard Project group.
