When you arrive, look out for our Welcome Team, who will be handing out free Ulster Rugby flags to get you in the matchday mood. Be sure to get there early, as these flags are available while supplies last. Then, head to the Fan Zone, where you can enjoy a variety of food options while the Cool FM crew sets the tone with their pre-match playlist.
Put your rugby skills to the test at the Kingspan Scrum Half Challenge, located at the Kingspan Cabin. Show off your passing accuracy, climb the leaderboard, and compete for exciting prizes.
And don’t forget to look out for Sparky, our mascot, who will be roaming the Fan Zone before the match and around the stadium bowl during the game.
Our official partners Britvic, will also be on hand in the Fan Zone to hand out free refreshments ahead of kick-off.
