Amid all the fuss about the Euros kicking off soon, it’s easy to forget that we’ve got an entire summer of sport to look forward to. Spitalfields is reminding us of this very fact; announcing plans to show a flurry of different sporting events.
They’re scattering the deck chairs and wheeling out the big telly screens out to Bishops Square to provide keen viewers with everything they need to catch a day of the action: food & drink all around them, comfort, and a great view. Hopefully, the cloud formations will, like some of the athletes, play ball by letting the sun shine down and add the cherry on top.
Spitalfields will be showing the action from Wimbledon (July 1-14), the Olympics (July 26 – August 11), the Paralympics (August 28 – September 8), and The Hundred Cricket (August 1-25) to provide us with a heavy variety of excitement through the warm season. Test Cricket will also be shown regularly, with timings updated on the website.
You’ll be able to take to a chair for the day to relax in front of (or jump up and scream at) the gain 188-inch screen, as well as make use of the many promotions from nearby food and drinks vendors.
Food and drink at Spitalfields Screenings
In between games, races, or events, you can head on over to Italian restaurant Alfi, which offers you a chance to play on their two ‘bocce’ lanes for pétanque (boules), as well as a dartboard and 50% off the first drink.
Elsewhere, you can find cracking deals at Brother Marcus, who have just kicked off their tasty summer menu (I’ll be after fried chicken rosti and harissa eggs), and Lamb Street food kiosks will also be offering a sweet 10% off via the Spitalfields app.
