Following a record breaking year in 2026, with more teams than ever before joining us on tour at ESF at Butlin’s Minehead, we’re delighted to be returning to Somerset to stage two huge football festivals in 2027, welcoming up to 350 grassroots teams from all over the UK!
Join us on tour and make 2027 a year your players, coaches and supporters will never forget, at the biggest grassroots football festival in the South West!
Our spectacular presentations have an electric atmosphere and are the perfect way to close the festival.
Following an incredible laser light show in a huge arena, each team are invited onto the big stage to meet our VIP Celebrity guests and receive their custom ESF27 medals. High quality custom team trophies are also presented to all participating teams as a memento of the event, plus some of the finest trophies you’ll ever see are presented to the age group winners, runners up and fair play winners.
To cap off the weekend in style, we invite VIP celebrity guests guests to join us at ESF27 to present the medals and trophies to all the players and coaches!
Special guests have included Darren Bent, Lucy Staniforth, Jermain Defoe, Jordan Nobbs, Paul Merson, Fran Kirby, Emmanuel Petit, Ray Parlour, Gabby George, Shay Given, John Barnes, Faye White, Sue Smith, Emile Heskey, Kevin Keegan and many more.
What a incredible end to your team’s touring experience!
