Flight Club is going on tour, and you’re invited! From the 3rd to the 22nd October, Flight Club is touring the country in a fire engine, visiting its venues nationwide to celebrate Flight Club’s 10th birthday and to raise money for its charity, the Yellow Ball Foundation.
The Flight Club crew will stop off in Liverpool on 8th October, where they will park up the fire engine and spend the day dishing out goodies to passers-by in Chavasse Park and the surrounding area. Locals should come alongto join in the birthday celebrations and get their hands on some freebies.
On the evening of the 8th October, Flight Club will be hosting a special charity tournament event inside its Chavasse Park venue to raise money for 21 local and national charities, including Liverpool’s very own Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
This night of entertainment, starting at 6 pm and finishing at 9 pm, promises to be one to remember. You’ll have the chance to unleash your competitive spirit and win incredible prizes—all while helping to support some amazing causes.

Tickets are £250 for a team of five, with every penny going to charity. And you can book tickets to the Flight Club Liverpool’s charity tournament event here.
Why the fire engine?
The Flight Club team is no stranger to mammoth fundraising projects. In fact, a 2010 fundraising expedition around the globe in a fire engine (hence the fire engine connection) is where it all began for Flight Club.
Co-founders Steve and Paul, CFO Ross and a crew of friends circumnavigated the planet in a fire engine in memory of Steve’s father, who spent 33 years serving as a firefighter. They raised £120,000 for three charities (Macmillan Cancer Support, The Fire Fighters Charity and The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation) and achieved a Guinness World Record.
The expedition taught Steve and the crew the skills they needed to launch a business and, more importantly, underlined their passion for bringing groups of friends together for unforgettable moments of joy. Five years later, Flight Club was born, with the first venue opening in London’s Shoreditch. Fast-forward ten years, and there are now 28 venues around the globe, with plenty more on the way.
Fifteen years after Steve and the gang headed off on an incredible adventure around the world, “Martha,” the original fire engine, is coming out of retirement, especially for this special 10th anniversary tour.
