The NFL (National Football League) will be taking over one of London’s most iconic locations (Piccadilly) on Saturday 8th September to kick off the start of the 2018 season and they would love as many Mumsnetters to attend as possible!
Here’s what the NFL UK Managing Director Alistair Kirkwood has to say: “This will be a fantastic way to launch the new season. The NFL has a great reputation of staging engaging fan events in London – at locations such as Trafalgar Square and Regent Street – and we are excited about the opportunity of taking over Piccadilly. The planned activities will appeal to everyone, whether they are currently NFL fans or not, and we are looking forward to a day of fun, football and family entertainment that will be a great celebration of our sport.”
