ESF27 is the UK’s biggest youth football festival, with 1000 grassroots teams from all over the UK participating. We’re delighted to be returning to Butlin’s Bognor Regis (West Sussex) in 2027, to stage two of the UK’s premier youth football festivals.
350+ teams and 4,000 ballers will join us on tour at ESF27 at Butlin’s Bognor Regis – there’s nowhere better to take your team for an action packed touring experience on the South Coast!
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 is invited onto the big stage to meet our VIP Celebrity guest 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 to join us at ESF27 to present the medals and trophies to all the players and coaches!
Special guests have included Emmanuel Petit, Fran Kirby, Jermain Defoe, Jordan Nobbs, Paul Merson, Sue Smith, Robert Pirès, Ray Parlour, Ian Wright, Gabby George, John Barnes, Faye White, Darren Bent, Lucy Staniforth, Emile Heskey, Kevin Keegan and many more.
What a incredible end to your team’s touring experience!
