Behind the Scenes at Twickenham with a former England Star

Twickenham hospitality: Explore the home of English rugby with the greatest players to wear the shirt

If you’re devoted to England rugby, all roads lead to Twickenham. You might already have invited a key client to our acclaimed rugby hospitality at the national stadium. But for a twist on our popular match day packages, why not treat that same valued contact to a behind-the-scenes tour of this fabled sporting venue, capped by a Q&A session with a former England great? Plus, for your Scottish, Welsh, Irish or European clients, we can offer Six Nations rugby hospitality at any national stadium across the UK and the continent.   

Six Nations hospitality at the scene of England’s greatest victories

When it comes to Twickenham, even ‘iconic’ is faint praise. As the world’s largest dedicated rugby union venue (seating up to 82,000 fans), the national stadium was the backdrop to such all-time-great clashes as the 1991 World Cup Final (where Australia beat England 12-6) and the Southern Hemisphere slamdown of 2015, when New Zealand bested the Wallabies 34-17. 

There can’t be an England fan who hasn’t dreamt of running out on that famous turf – and our Twickenham hospitality brings the daydream to life.   Gather your party and go behind the scenes with a tour of the stadium, including the changing rooms, substitute benches, players tunnel and media facilities – not to mention the unique historical artefacts of the World Rugby Museum, including an England jersey from the first ever international in 1871.

It’s all capped by a visit to The Twickenham Cellar. Hidden deep within the West Stand, this is the stadium’s most exclusive facility and the perfect setting for entertaining clients, complete with décor featuring vintage wines, ports and regal-style furnishings. And for the pièce de résistance, you’ll be joined by the England star of your choice, ready to share stories and take questions.

Perhaps your key client hails from another UK country or the continent? No problem. Thanks to Gala’s Europe-wide contacts, we can offer the same behind-the-scenes tour of the national stadium of your choice – complete with a visit from a rugby great who made their name on that hallowed turf.

These are just some of the former England legends available for our Twickenham hospitality – with many more names available on request:

Lewis Moody, Martin Corry, Brian Moore, Kyran Bracken, Dean Richards, Jason Leonard, Lawrence Dallaglio, Matt Dawson, Lee Mears, Andy Gomarsall, Phil Vickery, Mike Tindall, Jason Robinson, Ben Kay, Mark Cueto, Nick Easter & James Haskell.
