Flight Club and Electric Shuffle are hitting the road this October to mark Flight Club’s 10th birthday, and Leeds is on the route. The team will tour the country from 3rd to 22nd October in a fire engine, stopping off at venues nationwide to raise money for their Yellow Ball Foundation and dish out treats to fans along the way.
The fire engine will park up in Leeds on 16th October at Electric Shuffle on The Headrow and 17th October at Flight Club on Park Row. Locals are invited to swing by during the day to join the birthday celebrations and pick up some freebies.
On both evenings, the venues will host charity tournaments to raise money for 21 charities, including local organisation the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, which supports people living with heart disease.
The events will run from 6 pm to 9 pm and include:
- Three hours of gaming hosted by Flight Club’s gamesmasters
- Unlimited pizza throughout the night and a welcome round of drinks
- The chance to win prizes, including a £1,000 bar tab
Tickets are £250 for a team of five, with all proceeds going directly to charity.
The choice of transport is no coincidence. The original Flight Club fire engine, known as “Martha”, was first used in 2010 when co-founders Steve and Paul, alongside CFO Ross and friends, drove it around the world in memory of Steve’s father, a firefighter of 33 years. The journey raised £120,000 for three charities, earned a Guinness World Record and inspired the team to build the business that would later become Flight Club.
Since opening its first venue in Shoreditch in 2015, Flight Club has grown to 28 locations around the world, with Electric Shuffle joining as its sister brand. The upcoming charity tour is both a nod to its roots and a celebration of a decade spent bringing people together for games, food and unforgettable nights out.
