Watch England train as Twickenham Stadium opens its doors to the public on Wednesday August 12.
Watch Martin Johnson's England squad train as Twickenham Stadium opens its doors to the public on Wednesday August 12. To celebrate its centenary year Twickenham will host a free day of entertainment for all the family starting at 11am. The highlight of the afternoon (2.00pm) will be an open training session with the England squad. Fans can watch Johnson and his coaches put the players through their paces; then see their England heroes up close as players like Jonny Wilkinson, Ugo Monye and Phil Vickery sign autographs pitchside. Johnson said, "We held our first open training session at the stadium last year and over 3,000 fans turned up. All the players enjoyed having the supporters and the families here and we hope even more turn up on August 12." Twickenham's west car park will be open from 11am-5pm with coaching clinics run by the Rugby Football Union's community rugby coaches and fun inflatables to practice your skills. Twickenham's World Rugby Museum is offering 2 for 1 entry for adults (£6) and kids for a £1 when accompanied by an adult. Why not visit their special 'Off the Wall' exhibition with a century of rugby posters? And the Rugby Store will be open from 10am-6pm. The west car park will also host the o2 blueroom where fans can win prizes on the bucking rugby ball, take on the England teams' scores at Batak Duel and grab a refreshment. If you're on O2 you can even relax with a massage from an O2 Angel, or have your face painted. All fans wishing to attend should do so via the Twickenham Stadium North Car Park (Gate A and Gate D). Limited car parking will be available in the North car park. Entrance is free.
