More than just sports

Festival of Sport is more than just a weekend of sporting excellence. Ticket holders can enjoy live music and open-air cinema in the evenings plus camping and glamping for the full festival experience. It’s the perfect opportunity to spend quality family time outdoors while fostering a love for sports and active living.

By partnering with The Week Junior, an award-winning children's magazine dedicated to keeping young minds informed and engaged, Festival of Sport strengthens its mission to inspire and empower the next generation.

Co-founder and Rugby World Cup Winner Will Greenwood says “We’re delighted to join forces with such an amazing publication. We share a common passion for empowering kids to find their goals and inspiring them to go out there and grab life with both hands. It’s not about winning, it’s about having the best fun, and if you can learn along the way, even better.”
