What We Did
CRN Fight Night was back at The Brewery for an unforgettable night of boxing and positive change.
CRN Fight Night is not just about the action in the ring; it's about making a difference in the lives of others. Every year this event brings together the world of boxing and fundraising for an awe-inspiring event where 10 fighters go head-to-head, raising funds for their chosen charities, Cancer Research UK, MS Society, Mental Health UK, Alzheimer's Society, Age UK, Parkinson's UK, RSPCA, among others.
In total, CRN Fight Night has raised over £220,000 for charity since the first fight in 2008.

How We Did It
The Brewery, renowned for its ability to host a wide range of events, was transformed into a boxing venue.
Prior to the fights, the guests enjoyed a 60-minute sparkling wine reception on The Porter Tun balcony, where they also had the opportunity to use the photobooth to get a photo souvenir of the night. They were then ushered to the main floor where a professional boxing ring was set in the middle of the room, surrounded by seating areas that offered prime views of the electrifying fights.
Blue Monday orchestrated a silent auction, held midway through the fights to help raise more funds for the charities.
Additionally, CRN teamed up with the agency Webvid Creative to provide 10 mini podcasts, which were hosted by former radio 1 presenter Tom Deacon. The podcasts included interviews with the organisers, fans, boxers and sponsors and can be listened to here.
The Food and Drink
Committed to tempting the appetite and quenching the thirst of every guest, The Brewery’s dedicated team of chefs served a selection of delectable food and drinks. The mouth-watering menu included.
