Zone 2: Grassroots Football & Sports Area

Performances from professional and high-level freestyle football artists, inspiring engagement and highlighting football as creative expression. - Inclusive Sports Workshops:
Activities designed to engage diverse groups, including refugees, young people, and those traditionally less likely to participate in organised sports. - Youth & Community Engagement:
Structured programmes, mentoring opportunities, and sessions designed to foster long-term community involvement and skill development.
Beyond the festival: FREE community football!
We don’t want football at Our Pitch to be a one-off. If funding is secured, we will build a free community football pathway linked to the festival – including weekly free 3G pitch slots, shared equipment and support for people who want to take FA courses such as Safeguarding, First Aid and Introduction to Coaching Football. This will give players, families and community groups a realistic way to keep playing together after the festival!
