Every piece of land and free space surrounding Twickenham is utilised as plots for these temporary hospitality facilities, including the playing fields and playground at the Chase Bridge and the Cardinal Vaughan schools, the car park of a self-storage unit which becomes the ‘Orchard Enclosure’ for the duration of the games, and the cricket pitch at Kneller Hall.
It means the firm will supply in excess of 5,500sqm of temporary structures for the England v Wales and England v Ireland internationals.
These structures will be transformed into private dining suites, fitted with their own entrance doors, as well as supporting kitchens, bars and offices.
James Anderson, commercial director for GL Events Owen Brown, said: "We are always pleased to be part of the fantastic rugby events that are held at Twickenham. Some of the sites do cause some challenges as you can imagine working at schools and military bases. However each year the outcome keeps improving, and the hospitality our clients put on each year is ever evolving as well."
