House of Lords vs House of Commons Tug of War

The House of Lords vs House of Commons Tug of War brings together politicians, businesses, and supporters for a light-hearted evening of competition, fundraising, and entertainment. A truly unforgettable event that has to be seen to be believed.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Westminster Abbey Gardens, Macmillan's Tug of War sees teams of 10 battle it out in best-of-three matches to earn bragging rights over their peers, clients, and industry rivals.

Across nine thrilling contests, guests enjoy free-flowing drinks and exceptional food from the acclaimed private members' club Mosimann's, alongside lively commentary from our celebrity host.

Part summer garden party, part sporting spectacle, this unique event offers the perfect opportunity to support people living with cancer while networking with like-minded professionals, enjoying outstanding hospitality, and discovering who really holds the pulling power in Parliament.

With limited places available, the best way to get involved is by entering a team. Combining team building, camaraderie, and social fun, Macmillan's Tug of War offers a unique opportunity for businesses to support the event while giving employees an unforgettable experience.

Whether your goal is to lift the coveted Tug of War trophy, strengthen relationships within your team, reward colleagues with a memorable social event, connect with industry peers, engage with influential politicians, or increase your brand exposure through sponsorship and marketing opportunities, our team packages can help you achieve a range of organisational objectives.

If you're keen to be part of the event but aren't sure you can gather a full team of 10, we also offer a variety of team and sponsorship options to suit different levels of involvement and objectives.
