The club’s membership will be limited to only 30 people. Four extra members will be allowed on each match day to invite decision makers from national companies.

As regards the name, Lounge 502, Molly Smith, Senior Account Executive at Leicester Tigers, explains, “We drew our inspiration for the naming of Lounge 502 from someone who fully epitomizes Leicester Tigers, the Late David Matthews. As Leicester Tigers’ record appearance holder at 502 caps, David was not only a player but also captain, coach, President and Director. The experience in Lounge 502 is unlike any other and is certainly not to be missed.”

Guests can arrive at their own time of choice and will be greeted by their Leicester Tigers’ dedicated host, who will provide bespoke experience to each guest.
