If you want to cheer on the England squad in style, join us and some of England's most treasured ex-players at three exclusive World Cup Events...

On Friday 7 May, 12noon-3pm, the World Cup Heroes Lunch will be taking place at The Lowry Hotel.

Then, on Friday 18 June, 5.30pm-10pm, you're invited to join former Manchester United player and England captain, Gary Pallister, plus a panel of expert guests at Copperface Jacks for the private live screening of England vs Algeria. Hot buffet food will be available to guests before the screening at 7.30pm. Join Gary and fellow England supporters for just £35 + VAT per person. Tickets include hot buffet and screening.

The following week, on Wednesday 23 June, 1pm-6pm, England will be taking on Slovenia.
