House of Lords vs House of Commons Tug of War

Join us for one of the most unique events in the charity calendar, the House of Lords vs House of Commons Tug of War.

Our last event raised over £130,000 which was enough to fund two clinical nurse specialists for the year. This time, we aim to continue to build on that incredible success so we can do whatever it takes to support more people with cancer to get the best care the UK has to offer, whoever and wherever they are.

This summer garden party will see teams of 10 battle it out in tug of war matches at an event like no other. Gather your colleagues and take on the challenge of becoming Tug of War champions, overseen by our Tug of War officials and our celebrity host.

Each team competes in the best of three matches and, new for this year, the winning teams will go through to a final match to see who will emerge victorious.

After a day’s work battling in Parliament, the evening culminates in the ultimate contest between the House of Lords and House of Commons to see who the brawn of Westminster really is.

Alongside the excitement of the matches, enjoy delicious food and drinks, live entertainment, and summer festivities.
