The UK’s Biggest Grassroots Football Festival!
If you’re looking to make 2025 a year to remember? With over 1000 youth football teams participating, ESF 2025 is the biggest and most popular grassroots football festival in the UK – There’s nowhere better to take your team for an unforgettable end of season tour.
ESF is a series of professionally organised youth football festivals that bring grassroots teams of all abilities together for a fantastic weekend of football and fun at Butlin’s & Haven. ESF 2025 then culminates with our Champion of Champions event, the ESF Grand Finale, which is staged at St George’s Park!
