ESF 2020 is the UK’s biggest youth football festival, with over 1200 junior football teams from all over the UK participating every year. We’re delighted to be returning to Butlin’s Bognor Regis in 2020, to stage the biggest youth football festival on the South Coast. Quite simply, there’s nowhere better to take your team for an action packed football touring experience!
Accommodation & entertainment
Following a sell-out year in 2019, we’re delighted to be returning to Butlin’s award-winning resort to stage two huge ESF festivals in 2020. The entire resort at Butlin’s is booked to stage the festivals, meaning 400 teams from all over the UK will be able to join us! ESF in Bognor Regis is without doubt the biggest and most prestigious youth football festival of its kind on the South Coast.
With quality accommodation, fantastic facilities and superb entertainment, Butlin’s is the perfect base for an unforgettable football tour. The resort has a huge variety of sports and leisure facilities, exciting rides at the Traditional Fairground, superb entertainment venues, quality accommodation and great places to eat and drink.
There’ll be an amazing new art-deco style family pool opening in Easter 2019, which has been designed with seaside inspired features. The new pool includes flumes, Helter Skelter and Stick of Rock slides, a wave pool and Pleasure Garden river rapids along with a
café and new changing village.
When the evening comes around, there’s a variety of live shows, tribute acts, live bands and discos, so your team will enjoy some amazing family entertainment, at no extra cost! If you’re looking for extra thrills, you can pay a small extra charge for activities like the High Ropes course with Climbing Wall and Zip Wire, Go Karts, Adventure Golf and Ten Pin Bowling.
Butlin’s has a great range of quality accommodation on resort. Those who crave a bit of luxury can book into one of Butlin’s contemporary hotels – the Shoreline with fantastic sea views, the Wave Hotel with its own Games Port or the Ocean Hotel with its own spa!
There’s also a wide selection of places to eat and drink on resort and Butlin’s Dining plans are always a popular choice, where you get breakfast and an evening meal included every day. There’s plenty to choose from and you can go back for seconds as many times as you like, perfect for hungry young footballers! The dining times are scheduled so they don’t clash with your fixtures and you’ll save 20% by booking in advance compared to the on-resort price. There’s also the 1950’s Diner, Traditional Fish & Chips Restaurant, Papa John’s Pizza, the Beachcomber Inn and new Pub & Kitchen all on resort.
Teddy Sheringham, Robert Pires, Wayne Bridge, Ian Wright, Danny Murphy, Stuart Pearce, Casey Stoney, Matt Le Tissier and Sue Smith have all made special guest appearances at our ESF presentations in Bognor Regis, to help us close the festival in style.
