Euros: Where to watch England's European Championship games on big screens in Kent ahead of Rome quarter final v Ukraine

No need to pinch yourself, you're not dreaming. England have beaten Germany in the knock out stage of a major tournament for the first time in 55 years.

If you're good at maths you'll have worked out the last time it happened was in the final of the 1966 World Cup.

Now Gareth Southgate's young team travel to Rome on Saturday (July 3) to take on Ukraine in the quarter final.

Victory there would see the Three Lions head home, with the semi final and final taking place at Wembley.

Knock out football can be stressful and we thin the best way to get through that is to embed yourself in the midst of a drunk screaming mob.

But where best to do that? Here are some of the top venues with big screens to enjoy the triumph and tragedy of international football.

Source Bar

Location: 4-6 Rose Yard, Maidstone

Boasts a huge 200" outdoor LED screen, said to be "bigger than a Luton truck", with an additional 165" screen. Tables of two, four and six can be booked.

The bar is also offering special deals on beer and an outdoor BBQ. Photo ID required.

Dreamland, Margate

Dreamland’s outdoor Scenic Stage will be showing European Championship football games, but not for the England v Ukraine quarter-final match as bosses decided to axe the screening after chaotic scenes during Germany game on Tuesday.

However, the venue will be showing further Euro games including the final.

The venue offers a large outdoor seating area where a wide range of drinks and food will be delivered to your table by ordering on your smartphone.

Ticket prices vary.

The Goose, Gravesend

Location: 23-25 King St, Gravesend
