by Colne Life magazine

Colne Town Council have announced that they will be holding Colne’s own FREE fanzone for the 2024 Euros Final which will feature England vs Spain. The fan zone will be located in Alkincoates Park, Colne and will be a follow on from the Town Council’s planned Family Fun Day.  

England have reached the Final of the Euros 2024 after Ollie Watkin’s fantastic last-minute strike secured a 2-1 win over the Netherlands. As extra-time approached, substitute Watkins, smashed a shot home from a narrow angle to send Southgate’s side into Sunday’s final.

Cllr. A Chamberlain, Chairman of Colne Town Council’s Events Committee, said, “Most fan zones in the area you have to pay to enter to watch England however we want to create one of the biggest free fan zones in the area meaning that everyone can get involved!”

The fan zone will also feature some pre-match entertainment, children’s fun fair rides, England themed face painting, a large outdoor screen to show the match and an unmissable atmosphere and not to forget everyone is welcome!

Mr. Nathan Cutler, Colne Town Council’s Events Officer, said, “Everyone is invited to come along and cheer on the three lions in the Euros Final. We want everyone to come together as a community to back the lads in Germany and hopefully win this year’s competition.”

Come and catch the action in Alkincoates Park on Sunday from 6pm for Colne’s FREE fan zone!
