The Bournemouth Classic Football Tournament

Now in its 30th year, the Bournemouth Classic is our flagship event for boys and girls teams.

With first class football venue it is no wonder that demand for the Bournemouth Classic continues to grow each year.

The football is played at the acclaimed Chapel Gate on a 65-acre site renowned as the best in the area, providing 17 quality football pitches and previously used by Bournemouth FC as their training ground.

Something for everyone at our Bournemouth event

While at the event you'll stay at Rockley Park holiday park with fantastic facilities - great accommodation, on-site entertainment and fun for everyone big or small. Sandy Balls is set in beautiful surroundings and has lots to do, including evening entertainment.

Or why not try a Hotel experience - set close to the town centre all our Hotels have something to offer and have the beach and town nearby. Whatever you choose we know you'll have a great team-bonding time (and hopefully take home a cup or two).

Bournemouth as a resort is ever popular and when our teams visit it's easy to see why. Miles of golden beaches, surrounded by beautiful countryside and with a town centre packed with things to do.

Exciting Celebrity Presentation Evenings

Our spectacular celebrity presentation evening provides a wonderful finale to the tournament. In the last few years some of the biggest names in football have attended the Bournemouth Classic including former England manager Glenn Hoddle and England Legend David James.

£15 per person Haven Food and Drink Card Included at Rockley Park!

We are delighted to include a Haven Food & Drink card preloaded with £15 per person to spend onsite at Rockley Park for food and beverages for both dates!

The eCard can be used at eligible food and drink venues while you're on park, both for dine-in and take-away. From the Mash & Barrel, or Coast House restaurants to Burger King, Slim Chickens and more - you won't be short of choice! And don't forget you can order your drinks at the Marina Bar and Stages.
