FROM MALTA
FLY IN. WE DO THE REST.
- 01FLY IN

- 04OLD TRAFFORD
Land in Manchester or Liverpool John Lennon and we take it from there: a Revel host in arrivals, a coach for the whole stay, a hotel with breakfast, two days of the Cheshire Easter Cup and a tour of Old Trafford.
AGES U7–U16 · GIRLS & BOYS
Priced for your club — one price per person, quoted in euro. Flights not included: you book them, we meet you.
THE TRIP, DAY BY DAY
FOUR NIGHTS,
ONE EASTER TO REMEMBER
The Premier League is on the doorstep: the tournament is about an hour from Manchester and Liverpool. This is the four-night trip we suggest — and it can be three nights or five.
Malta's Easter school break runs from 22 March to 2 April 2027, so every stay pattern fits inside it — nobody misses a day of school.
THURSDAY 25
Fly in, meet the coach
Your Revel host is waiting in arrivals. The bags go under the coach and the squad goes straight to the hotel — nobody queues for taxis or works out a train.
FRIDAY 26
Old Trafford
The coach takes the whole group to Old Trafford for the stadium tour — a squad walking round the ground they have watched on television all their lives, the day before their own tournament starts.
SATURDAY 27
Football, day one
Hotel breakfast, then the coach to the pitches. Group games all day, every squad playing, parents on the touchline.
SUNDAY 28
Football, finals day
Knockouts seeded from Saturday's results, then medals and trophies on the Revel stage. Every squad plays on both days.
MONDAY 29
Home
Breakfast, the coach back to the airport, and the flight home with the medals in the hand luggage.
3 NIGHTS
Friday 26 – Monday 29 March
In on the Friday, football all weekend, home on the Monday.
4 NIGHTS
Thursday 25 – Monday 29 March
The one we suggest: a free day before the football for Old Trafford, and no rush for the Monday flight.
5 NIGHTS
Wednesday 24 – Monday 29, or Thursday 25 – Tuesday 30 March
An extra day either side — more time for the city, or a later flight home.
FLIGHTS
YOU BOOK THE FLIGHT, WE MEET YOU IN ARRIVALS
Flights are not included — clubs book their own, which keeps you in charge of the times and the fares. Send us your flight times and we build the arrivals plan around them: the host in the arrivals hall, the coach at the door, the hotel ready.
EASYJET · RYANAIR · JET2
Malta → Manchester
About 18 flights a week between the three airlines, so there is plenty of choice of day and time.
EASYJET
Malta → Liverpool
A direct easyJet route into Liverpool John Lennon. We meet you there just the same.
Airline group desks can help once you are travelling in numbers: easyJet takes group bookings from 10 passengers, Ryanair from 15.
WHERE YOU STAY
HOTELS WE USE, BREAKFAST INCLUDED
The squad, the coaches and the families in one hotel, with breakfast every morning and the coach outside. These are the hotels we use around Chester and Liverpool airport — yours is named, or similar, and confirmed with your quote.

THE CHESHIRE EASTER CUP
TWO DAYS OF FOOTBALL
Saturday 27 & Sunday 28 March 2027, Easter weekend. Group games on the Saturday; Sunday is seeded from Saturday's results and finishes with medals and trophies at the finals. Every squad plays on both days, whatever the Saturday did to them.
Boys and girls, U7–U16, with girls' sections as well as boys'. Age groups are staggered across the two days, so a club bringing several squads is not trying to be in three places at once.
The coach runs you between the hotel and the pitches on both days.
2
DAYS OF FOOTBALL, EVERY SQUAD
INCLUDED · THE DAY OUT
A DAY AT OLD TRAFFORD
Malta's love of Manchester United goes back generations. A stadium tour at Old Trafford is in the price for every traveller, and the coach takes the whole group there and back.
On the four-night trip it is the Friday, the day before the football. On a shorter stay we fit it around your flights.
EXTRAS, QUOTED ON TOP
Add any of these and they are priced into your club's quote.
A match ticket
If there is a fixture that weekend and tickets are available. Late March is often an international break, so we check the calendar before we promise anything.
Chester Zoo
A full day out, a short coach ride from Chester.
Chester walk & river cruise
The old city walls, the Rows, and a cruise on the Dee.
Liverpool waterfront & The Beatles Story
The Royal Albert Dock and the story of the band, in one afternoon.
BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
THE SHORT LIST WE WALK YOU THROUGH
Taking a squad from Malta to England comes with a short list, and it really is short. We send it to every family when you book and remind them before you fly.
A passport for everyone
Every traveller, children included, needs a passport. EU ID cards are not accepted for a visit to the UK, so worth checking expiry dates over the winter.
A UK ETA
Every traveller, children included, also needs a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation. It is applied for online at gov.uk — check the current fee there — and it is usually granted quickly. Apply a few weeks ahead to be safe. We send each family the link and walk them through it.
Other nationalities
A player who is not a Maltese or EU citizen should check the entry rules for their own passport. Tell us early and we will help you find the right page.
The UK ETA is applied for at gov.uk/eta. It is not included in the price; we send every family the link and a reminder.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
QUESTIONS CLUBS FROM MALTA ASK
- Are flights included?
- No — clubs book their own flights, and the package starts at the airport. Airline group desks can help once you are travelling in numbers: easyJet takes group bookings from 10 passengers, Ryanair from 15. Send us your flight times and we build the meet & greet, the coach and the hotel around them.
- Which airport should we fly into?
- Manchester or Liverpool John Lennon — we meet you at either. easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 all fly Malta to Manchester, about 18 flights a week between them, and easyJet flies Malta to Liverpool. Send us your flight times and we build the arrivals plan around them.
- How much does it cost?
- It is priced for your club: one price per person, quoted in euro, built on your numbers, the nights you choose and the hotel. WhatsApp us the club, the age groups and roughly how many are travelling, and we come back with the price.
- How many nights should we stay?
- Three, four or five. Three nights runs Friday 26 to Monday 29 March. Four nights, Thursday 25 to Monday 29, is the one we suggest — a free day for Old Trafford before the football. Five nights is Wednesday 24 to Monday 29, or Thursday 25 to Tuesday 30.
- Does it fit the school holidays?
- Yes. Malta's Easter school break runs from 22 March to 2 April 2027, so every stay pattern fits inside it — nobody misses a day of school.
- Will we see a match?
- The Old Trafford stadium tour is included and guaranteed. A match ticket is an extra we quote on top if there is a fixture that weekend — late March is often an international break, so we check the calendar first and never promise one.
- What documents does everyone need?
- A passport and a UK ETA, for every traveller including children. EU ID cards are not accepted for a visit to the UK. The ETA is applied for online at gov.uk — check the current fee there — and is usually granted quickly; apply a few weeks ahead. It is not included in the price, but we send every family the link and walk them through it. A player of another nationality should check the rules for their own passport.
- Can we bring more than one age group?
- Yes. The tournament runs U7–U16, with girls' sections as well as boys', and age groups play at staggered times across the two days, so a club travelling with several squads is not trying to be in three places at once.
- Can parents and families come?
- Yes. The price is per person, so parents and siblings travel on the same package, stay in the same hotel and ride the same coach.
- Who supervises the children?
- Your club's own vetted adults, at the ratios your club's safeguarding policy sets, with a named head of delegation. No adult shares a room with a child, and we plan the rooming with you. Revel's staff are there to run the tournament and the trip — they do not replace your club's supervision.
- How does paying work?
- Every family books its own place through your club's link and pays a deposit, then the balance before travel. The organiser never collects the money. Clubs from Malta are quoted and pay in euro.
