Lunch with the Premier League Captains

A Spectacular Afternoon on Park Lane at our Premier League Captains Christmas Sporting Lunch!

What an unforgettable afternoon! This December, Gala Events welcomed guests to the magnificent Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s iconic Park Lane for one of our most anticipated events of the year — and it did not disappoint.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Grosvenor House Ballroom, attendees were treated to an afternoon of exceptional hospitality, festive celebrations, and footballing insight from three Premier League icons. Chelsea legend John Terry, Arsenal’s inspirational captain Tony Adams, and Spurs favourite Ledley King took to the stage for a series of candid, hilarious and brilliantly entertaining interviews, expertly hosted by Sky Sports’ very own Pete Graves.

The event delivered the perfect blend of VIP treatment and elite football storytelling. Guests enjoyed a beautifully crafted three-course festive lunch, a complimentary bar flowing throughout the afternoon, and the chance to experience Premier League leadership, rivalry and camaraderie up close. From dressing-room tales and career-defining moments to personal reflections on captaining clubs at the highest level, the conversation was as insightful as it was entertaining.

Laughter filled the ballroom, guests networked and celebrated in style, and the festive atmosphere truly marked the start of Christmas in London’s West End. It was a superb occasion for client entertainment, team rewards or simply a luxurious pre-Christmas day out.

This event continues to sell out year after year — and with feedback overwhelmingly positive once again, we expect demand for 2026 to be even higher.

If you’d like to join us for next year’s Christmas Sporting Lunch and enjoy another afternoon with footballing royalty, get in touch today to register your interest. We’d be delighted to secure your table early and ensure you don’t miss one of London’s standout festive hospitality experiences.
