A huge football fan park has been planned for a new location in Norwich ahead of this summer's Euros.

The fan zone in Earlham Park will be able to host around 1,500 spectators as tickets go on sale for the first England game of the European Championship.

The park will have a big top tent, several massive all-weather screens measuring eight metres wide, pop-up bars and street food vendors.

Daegan Watts, one of the venture's organisers, said: "I am buzzing for it.

"It is definitely set to be the biggest fan park in East Anglia.

"Tickets are on sale for the first group stage match against Serbia and selling really quickly."

 

The fan park will host all three England games of the group stages, with tickets going on sale between each match and costing around £10 per person, which includes a pint for the first game.

There will also be some VIP and corporate packages available but these are yet to be released.

Tickets will then be released as and when Gareth Southgate's squad progresses.

"We saw how it brought the footballing community together and it is really special when England plays as rivalries don't matter," said Mr Watts, who will be running the park alongside event organiser Danny Banthorpe and Andrew Bunn, the director of Ideal Events.

The fan park follows the popularity of the events held at The Arena in Sprowston during the Euros in 2021, which Mr Watts was also involved in, which saw all seven of England's games screened to sell-out crowds.

The park will be accessible before and after the games as ticketholders can enjoy pre-match entertainment including football competitions and live music.

Tickets for England's tournament opener against Serbia on June 16 are available to purchase via the Must Have Tickets website.
