Depending how many people are joining you to watch the match, and the size of your room, you’ll want to ensure the TV or projector screen is in a prime position to be seen from different angles.
Test which positions the screen works in the room (including powerpoints and space), and then play around with seating arrangements until you find the perfect balance!
If you’re planning to watch the final outside with a projector screen, you will need to consider that at when the Euro’s final takes place at 8pm on Sunday 14th July, the sun won’t set until 9:26pm. So having a gazebo or some form of cover to make the space around the screen dark is essential for a clear view.
If you’re watching it indoors, make sure you’ve considered where the natural light enters the room to minimise glare. You may also want to set the mood with some ambient lighting, from lamps or dimmable ceiling lights that won’t impact the screen but allow you to see where the snacks are!
Get into the spirit with flags and bunting, banners and balloons! You could even get themed snack bowls and plates, cups and napkins! Anything you can think of to show your support and create a festive atmosphere for the big game.
This is a very important part of hosting any event: getting the snacks right. While people are watching the match, have easy to grab snacks on hand such as crisps and pretzels, veg sticks and dips, etc. You could also have a half time buffet for people to grab during the break.
Whether you’re outside or inside, ensure everyone has access to a seat, cushions and blankets so everyone is comfortable and can relax while enjoying the match. Also best to nominate someone to be in charge of the remote control and have it to hand to react quickly if anything goes wrong, or the volume needs adjusting.
