Festival of Sport at Holkham Park, Norfolk
The UK’s biggest sports festival is returning to Holkham Park from 11th – 14th August and we hope to see lots of you there!
Sports on offer range from hockey, rugby, netball, cricket and football to kayaking, golf, trampolining, lacrosse, boxing, skateboarding plus, new for this year, American Football. Sports sessions are aimed at children aged 5 – 17, with additional activities for under 5’s and over 18’s spanning sports, wellbeing and entertainment.
Co-founded by international rugby legends Will Greenwood and Austin Healey, Festival of Sport is now firmly established in the summer sporting calendar. Alongside Will and Austin, sports stars for 2023 include cricketer Ryan Sidebottom, Paralympic rowers Vicki and Tom Aggar, netballer Karen Greig, golfers Graeme Storm and Hannah Bowen, England and Saracens women’s rugby player Sydney Gregson, hockey gold medallists Kate and Helen Richardson-Walsh and footballer Paul Dickov.
All legends actively participate throughout the weekend, coaching and playing alongside youngsters – and making time to have fun with accompanying adults too.
Co-founder Will Greenwood, says “It’s a magical combination of dozens of different sports, all led by world champions, Olympians and international legends, alongside amazing live bands, non-stop activities and the chance to sleep over within a stone’s throw of Holkham Hall. Come along, try new sports, bring old friends and make new ones – literally the best way to spend a sunny summer weekend.”
