It's Christmas! '26

Saturday 19 December 2026 - London Join us for a suitably Lupine end to the year, with a festive afternoon racing around London followed by a Christmas party aboard the Battersea Barge. The day will kick off with a special Christmas-themed, non-competitive Metro Mayhem. James will meet anyone wanting to do it as a group at 12:00 with race packs, or you can join earlier or later and play purely via our app. Head out at your leisure and check in to festive checkpoints scattered around the city. There’s a leaderboard but less pressure. Every checkpoint you visit earns you an extra entry into our Christmas raffle. We’ll draw the raffle at the party, with plenty of goodies up for grabs and a grand prize Fortnum & Mason Christmas hamper worth £150. From 18:30, we’ll congregate at the Battersea Barge, where we have private use of the lower deck for the evening. We’ll start with one of our signature Lupine hardcore travel pub quizzes, with some small gifts for the winning team, before resident DJ Holly (latec0mer) gets the decks turning. Expect music, karaoke and general festive chaos through to the end of the night. And since it’s Christmas, festive dress is very much encouraged. We’ll award a bottle of champagne to the best-dressed guest, whether you go full Christmas glamour, questionable festive knitwear or something altogether more ambitious. We’ll also be crowning the winner of Project Europa 2026, bringing this year’s competition to a close and celebrating the champion. Come for the Mayhem, the party, or both, and help us see out 2026 in proper Lupine style.
