WEEKENDER: HKSEVENS, Stand Up Paddle Boarding and more…

What’s on this weekend…

The Sevens weekend is here! So, we hope that you’ve got your costumes ready and are set for the weekend festivities, as they’re sure to go off with a bang. Don’t worry if you didn’t manage to get tickets for the main event, as you can catch all the live action on the big screens at Lee Gardens, or skip it completely and head to the beach for some SUP. Enjoy it, girls!

Hong Kong Sevens Fanwalk at Lee Gardens

Don’t miss out on a minute of The Sevens action this weekend, with the ultimate rugby-themed wonderland happening at Lee Gardens! Right in the heart of Causeway Bay (and conveniently en route to the stadium!), there will be non-stop performances, entertainment and plenty of food and drink all weekend to celebrate our favourite event of the year. Expect to see live performances from can-can dancers, break-dancers, Samoan dancers and more, along with seven food booths, serving up iconic food from seven sport-loving countries. Don’t forget there will also be live action direct from the stadium on the big screens, so you can enjoy the party atmosphere at Lee Gardens, whilst not missing out on a second of the games! Can it be The Sevens every weekend?
