Half-Time
The Jaffa Zorb Race makes its first appearance of the season on Saturday, which sees two fans face-off in a test of balance, coordination and a strong stomach on the field at half-time.
Following that, the Ultimate Big Boot - sponsored by De Montfort University - sees groups of fans take on the high ball machine with the pressure of the crowd watching on and judging every move.
During the break in the East Midlands Derby, there will also be an on-field presentation for Lichfield RUFC.
Full-Time
- DJ in The Plaza Marquee
- Rock Bottom in the Final Whistle
Players will make their way around the field after the match for selfies with supporters and - this weekend - be throwing giveaways in to the crowd. Stick around to speak to the lads and for your chance to win. Fans must not enter the field of play at any time and follow the instructions of stewards and staff to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
After seeing the players pitchside, supporters can keep Saturday night going on The Plaza with the DJ mixing tunes into the night or in the Final Whistle bar, enjoy the tunes of Rock Bottom.
