Formerly known as the Woolacombe Football Festival, this popular event enters an exciting new era in 2027. With football played at two quality venues within walking distance of North Devon Resort, everything is conveniently close at hand.

Combine competitive football, a fantastic seaside atmosphere and quality accommodation, and you have the perfect way to celebrate the end of the season.

Ilfracombe Harbour
More Than Just a Football Weekend

Nestled on North Devon's spectacular coastline, Ilfracombe is a traditional seaside town packed with character and charm. Its picturesque harbour, independent shops, pubs, cafés and restaurants make it the perfect place to relax and unwind between matches.

Whether you're enjoying fish and chips by the harbour, exploring the bustling seafront or stopping for an ice cream while taking in the stunning coastal views, there's plenty to keep players, parents and supporters entertained throughout the weekend.

Just a short drive away, you'll find the award-winning sands of Woolacombe Beach, consistently ranked among the UK's finest beaches and the perfect place to spend a few hours with family and friends.

From traditional seaside attractions to spectacular coastal scenery, Ilfracombe offers the ideal setting for a memorable football tour.

For a more relaxed pace, why not take a boat trip from Ilfracombe Harbour, explore the unique shops and cafés in the town centre, or enjoy a leisurely lunch overlooking the sea?

Whether you're after thrills, family fun or simply a chance to unwind after a busy day on the pitch, North Devon offers something for everyone to enjoy throughout the weekend.
