Lions fans to roar Into Melbourne

The roar of 40,000 British & Irish Lions fans is coming to Melbourne for a week of rugby, with interactive live sites and free and family-friendly events on offer.

A Lions Series Fan Zone will be set up at Federation Square from 23-25 July, featuring a range of free family activities including roaming entertainment, face painting, skills challenges and signing sessions with star players.

Fans will also be able to visit a free, outdoor site in Yarra Park on Test Match game day called the ‘Wallabies Paddock’, for pre-game entertainment, food and drinks vans and Q&A sessions with past and present players.

The Lions and their legion of fans from Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England are coming for two massive games.

The British & Irish Lions team brings together the best players from the UK and Ireland, with the side touring Australia every 12 years and their passionate fans providing a huge boost for Victorian businesses.
