EXPERIENCE

The Lions Den is rugby’s greatest pre-match party. A festival vibe, a relaxed, atmospheric build up to one of the greatest moments in Lions history.

With music, entertainment, rugby legends and experiences, there is plenty for every fan to enjoy. On-stage match previews, interviews and stories and the chance to mix and mingle with like-minded fans, this really is everything you want ahead of kick off. There is nothing like the Sea of Red and the Lions Den brings it together like nowhere else.

Entertainment

The amazing Ben Shephard as your host, a huge array of Lions legends and a collection of Wallaby greats, the Lions Den will bring you the biggest names in world rugby.

Former skipper Martin Johnson, the incredible John Eales, the cast of The Good, The Bad, The Rugby podcast and many more will create a spell-binding atmosphere you won’t forget.

We will be adding more names in the coming weeks to create a show fit for the biggest Lions party ever.

Inclusions

The Lions Den is about fans coming together, about making friends and celebrating a once in a lifetime experience.

Included will be your food and drink, so you can raise a glass to an epic Lions performance. There will be a variety of food offerings at each Den, while your drinks will be included for the duration of the event.

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. 

 

Private 60 minute tour of State Library of South Australia | 30 July 2025 – 11:00am

Guests will have the opportunity to explore one of South Australia’s great institutions and take a look behind the shelves. An expert librarian will take you on a walk sharing stories of how the State Library began. Your experience starts at the historic Adelaide Circulating Library to learn the history of the building. By 1861, the collection of books held there was to became the first public library in South Australia. The Adelaide Circulating Library has been used in the past as a backdrop to several movies including Shine and Gallipoli. Continue your way to the basement to see some of the interesting old & rare artifacts housed in the library. Discover how the state’s most important treasures are maintained in the state-of-the-art storage and how the preservations team cares for the collection.
