For Immediate Release
The Queen’s Court
Brings Women’s Rugby to the Front Row
London's leading women's sports experience brand announces its latest House Party: an afternoon where women's rugby meets fashion, fitness and culture.
London, May 2026
The Queen's Court, the premium entertainment brand redefining how women experience sport, announces its next House Party experience: a front-row afternoon built around the France vs England women's rugby international, taking place on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 180 Studios, London.
This is not a watch party. This is an experience.
TQC's House Party series has become known for building a cultural universe around women's sports. From getting manicures at midnight while watching the WNBA, to meditating to Beyoncé pre-match with a sports psychologist. At The Queen's Court, the female fan is not a passive observer, she's a main character. The brand’s muse.
This time, TQC turns its attention to women's rugby — one of the fastest growing and most electric sports in the world — and builds an afternoon that makes every guest part of it.
The Experience
Doors open at 2:45PM for an afternoon that places guests inside the world of women's rugby, long before France and England take to the field at 4:45PM.
Tatyana Heard, Red Rose and professional rugby player, joins TQC Founder and CEO Laura Garriga for a conversation about physical strength, muscle and the Amazonian power of the female body.
Salika Peucelle, Founder and CEO of sports psychology app Rize, leads a pre-match session that unlocks the power of mental strength, connecting the fans in the room to the women on the pitch.
Hattie Crowther, East London designer and fashion professor, joins Laura for a cultural conversation on female fandom, identity and what it means to show up for sport owning your style.
Before kick off, Laura and Tatyana take to the floor again for a match warm-up conversation, breaking down the players, the rivalry and everything a first-time women's rugby fan needs to know before the whistle blows.
DJ Jade sets the tone throughout. Cocktails and food complete the afternoon.
This is women's sports experienced, not watched. Every guest is dialled in.
“Women’s sport doesn’t need saving, it needs unleashing. And so does the female fan”
— Laura Garriga, Founder and CEO, The Queen's Court
