England supporters can soak up the Euro 2016 atmosphere at a special fanzone in Canterbury city centre.

A giant 15ft screen will beam Three Lions matches to hundreds of fans at the Westgate Hall, with organisers installing a custom-built bar described as “the largest in the city”.

Events company Student Republic, which hosts the City Sound Project, has secured the venue for England’s three group games and any knockout rounds.

Organiser Chris Hawksey said: “As a passionate football fan myself, I’m beyond excited to be putting on this event.

“The atmosphere will be the closest you’ll get in the UK to being at the match in France.”

Colleague Stuart O’Leary added: “It’s especially exciting as we really might stand a chance of going all the way this year. It’s a strong team.”

A token system will be used to buy drinks to ensure a "super-fast service".

Fans feeling peckish can call also pick up some gourmet street food from vans outside the venue.

England’s first match is against Russia at 8pm on Saturday, June 11.

They then face Wales at 2pm on Thursday, June, 16, before taking on Slovakia at 8pm on Monday, June 20.

Standing and seated tickets are available, with an option to reserve areas and tables.
