Exclusive events with former England international David Platt
BW3 is proud to launch an exciting new Lunch Club series in partnership with Baguley Athletic FC, centred around exclusive access to former England international footballer David Platt.
Hosted in intimate and relaxed settings, the BW3 Lunch Club offers business leaders and guests a rare opportunity to spend time with one of England’s football greats – hearing personal stories, football insights and experiences from a remarkable career at the very highest level of the game.
Having largely stepped away from the public spotlight over the past 20 years, David’s involvement makes these events a genuinely unique and exclusive experience.
An Intimate & Exclusive Experience
The BW3 Lunch Club has been designed to be deliberately small and personal, creating an atmosphere that feels far removed from a traditional large-scale sports dinner or speaking event.
Guests will enjoy:
- Exclusive access to David Platt in an informal setting
- Open conversation and audience Q&A
- Stories and insights from David’s football career
- Premium hospitality and dining experiences
- Networking with a select group of business guests
- Opportunities to build meaningful business relationships
Unlike larger commercial events, the Lunch Club format allows guests to genuinely interact with David throughout the afternoon in a relaxed and engaging environment.
A Partnership with Purpose
The Lunch Club has been developed through a new strategic partnership between BW3 and Baguley Athletic FC.
Funds raised through the events will support:
- BW3 community and education initiatives
- Opportunities for young people across Wythenshawe
- Grassroots football and community engagement
- Collaborative projects between BW3 and Baguley Athletic FC
This partnership also creates exciting opportunities for businesses to support local community activity whilst accessing unique hospitality experiences.
Launch Event – June 2026
The inaugural BW3 Lunch Club will take place at TRIBE Manchester Airport Hotel in June 2026, with places intentionally limited to preserve the exclusive and intimate nature of the event.
Guests will enjoy a specially curated lunch experience alongside David Platt and fellow business leaders in support of BW3 and Baguley Athletic FC.
The June event will act as a pilot ahead of a wider quarterly Lunch Club programme launching from September 2026 onwards.
