Fan Zone
Gates open at 3.30pm on Sunday afternoon, and the Ulster Rugby Fan Zone will be buzzing very shortly after.
As soon as you arrive, look out for our Welcome Team who will greet you with free Ulster Rugby flags to get you in the spirit. Arrive early, as flags may run out. Then, head over to the Fan Zone to sample a variety of cuisines while the Cool FM crew sets the tone with their pre-match playlist.
Sunday’s game will be our annual Halloween fixture, with lots of Halloween fun planned. The Nevin Spence Centre will host a range of Halloween-themed games and face painters. Keep a look out in the Fan Zone for our Halloween characters roaming around, as well as Logy the Fire performer!
Keep an eye out for our team mascot Sparky, who will be out and about the Fan Zone pre-match and in position around the stadium bowl during the game.
Kukri Store
Be sure to visit the Kukri Store located in the Fan Zone if you need any last-minute Ulster Rugby clothing or accessories, or just want to pick up a souvenir from your visit.
With plenty of Halloween activities happening, we recommend arriving early to enjoy the spooktacular pre-match events in Kingspan Stadium!
