THE LIONS DEN

UNRIVALLED EXPERIENCE

tHE BIGGEST AND BEST RUGBY PARTY IN TOWN. THIS IS THE EVENT THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO BE AT.

A festival of non-stop, high energy matchday entertainment. Celebrity talent, rugby legends, live music, food and drink.

Quite simply, the Lions Den rocks – the build up to a Lions test match does not get any better.

Our Dens are the talk of the Tour and our aim is to make them even better in Australia. This is the ultimate rugby party and you are invited! Just make sure you don’t miss it.

We’ve previously seen the Manic Street Preachers, the wonderful ebullient Scott Quinnell free-wheeling through the crowds with a microphone, Sean Fitzpatrick gasping in disbelief at the sea of red in front of him, to ‘500 Miles’ featuring Laura White, John Spencer the 2017 Lions Tour Manager and MC Andy Nicol. Along with great food and drink, there is no better pre-match Lions party the Lions Den.

It’s all about the fans, it’s all about the atmosphere. The Lions Dens are about great entertainment, 100mph activity and involvement and quite simply the best pre match atmosphere anywhere in sport.

Day Trip to Adelaide

Wednesday 30 July - Departs 9:30 AM / Returns 17:00 PM

The Barossa is in South Australia, about 70km north-east of Adelaide, the state’s capital city.   Your trip will include a visit of the city centre, The State Library of South Australia and lunch at a local wine bar and kitchen. 

The State Library is the information heart of South Australia, located in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct.  You will have the opportunity to explore all three buildings: the award-winning contemporary Catherine Helen Spence Wing with its iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with its 19th century Victorian splendour, and the 1861 heritage listed Institute Building.

Sweeping stadium views, stylish bar and lounge, premium menu and extensive wine list.  Bespoke Wine Bar & Kitchen is one of Adelaide’s most impressive dining experiences.

Extending across level three of Oval Hotel and into the iconic Adelaide Oval, Bespoke’s unique setting makes a stunning backdrop lunch.

Executive Chef Daniel Simpson’s modern Australian menu brings bold flavours to life through fresh, seasonal produce.  Two drinks are included, and you may choose from house wine, beer or a soft drink.

After lunch you will be transferred to the North Terrace, Adelaide city where you can choose to spend your time either at Rundle Mall, The Art Gallery of South Australia or South Australian Museum.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  We have been advised that the carpet is being replaced in the Mortlock Chamber (section of the library) and we are now unable to conduct tours through this section during July so we will amend the Private tour of the State Library slightly and now include access to the basement (old & rare artifacts storage) which is an area of the library usually inaccessible to the public.
