Kewford Football Festival 2026
A weekend of grassroots football done properly
Team entries are now closed!
Thank you to everyone who has entered the tournament this year, we are looking forward to a great weekend of football. Don’t forget that if you are attending that you can still book your car parking space and save money compared to paying on the day.
The Kewford Football Festival is one of the biggest and best grassroots football competitions in the area — bringing together teams from across the region for a full weekend of football, atmosphere, and unforgettable moments.
This is more than just a 5-a-side tournament.
The Kewford Football Festival is designed to be a proper day out, not just a set of fixtures.
While the football is the focus, Eagle Park comes alive across the weekend with facilities and attractions that make the experience better for players, coaches, and families alike.
On-site facilities and attractions
- A family-friendly fair, adding to the festival atmosphere
- A licensed bar for adults
- A café serving hot and cold food and drinks
- On-site toilet facilities
- Plenty of space to relax between matches and enjoy the day
This means parents aren’t stuck in a field with nowhere to go, younger siblings are entertained, and teams can settle in and enjoy the full session.
It’s one of the reasons so many teams return year after year.
Who can take part?
The competition is open to affiliated grassroots teams only.
No academies. No mismatches. Just fair, competitive football.
