THE TRIP

The Cheshire Easter Cup is the flagship, played over the Easter weekend with clubs travelling from across Britain, Ireland and Europe.

It's more than a tournament — it's a complete family getaway. Teams stay together in holiday parks on the North Wales coast, with indoor pools, entertainment and the kind of evenings that turn a squad into a club. Age groups run U7 to U16 for the boys, with dedicated girls' sections too.

Every side gets a full fixture card across the weekend — and with Chester, Liverpool and the beaches on the doorstep, the hours between matches take care of themselves.

WHAT'S IN THE TRIP

  • Easter weekend fixtures, U7–U16 plus girls' age groups
  • Holiday-park life — pools, entertainment, the whole club together
  • Clubs from across the UK, Ireland and Europe
  • Medal ceremonies that end the season's first big weekend

HOW IT FEELS

THE REVEL
WEEKEND

01
Games/recreation

ARRIVE

Friday afternoon. The buses roll in, lodges get claimed, kit gets dumped — and within the hour kids who've never met are having a kickabout. By dinner the holiday park already sounds like one big club social.

02
A player striking the ball in front of the Revel tent, parents on the touchline

PLAY

Tournament football done properly — a full fixture card for your age group, a competition that finds your level, and touchlines three-deep by mid-morning.

03
Two teammates leaping into each other after a goal, flags up behind them

CELEBRATE

The goal pile-ons, the flags on the touchline, the parents louder than the players. This is what the weekend is actually for — and it's for the whole family.

04
Pool/waterpark clear

BOOTS OFF

Pools, arcades, go-karts, the beach — tell us what the squad's into and we'll help set it up. The hours between matches are half the reason clubs come back.

05
A squad lifting the cup on the Revel podium under falling confetti

MEDALS & LIGHTS

Medal ceremonies for the young ones, finals for the older age groups — then the showbar takes over. Nobody's asleep before the encore.

WHILE YOU'RE HERE

MORE THAN FOOTBALL

The tournament is the reason to come. Tell us what your squad fancies between matches and we build it into the trip, with the transport and the timings worked around the football.

STADIUMS

6 ACTIVITIES

  • Anfield Liverpool Stadium Tour

    ANFIELD LIVERPOOL STADIUM TOUR

    The Anfield tour and LFC Museum, from the players' tunnel to six decades of silverware, on a day the stadium is free of matches.

  • EVERTON'S NEW STADIUM AT BRAMLEY-MOORE DOCK

    A tour of Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on the Liverpool waterfront, where public tours are on offer, worked around match-day closures.

  • MANCHESTER NATIONAL FOOTBALL MUSEUM TICKET TOUR

    Four galleries and interactive exhibits covering the whole history of the game, a straightforward half-day in Manchester city centre.

  • Old Trafford Stadium Tour

    OLD TRAFFORD STADIUM TOUR

    The stadium tour and museum at Old Trafford, on a day it isn't hosting a match. A morning or afternoon slot fits either side of festival football.

  • PREMIER LEAGUE OR EFL MATCH TICKETS

    A live match added to your stay where the fixture list allows and tickets are available — we check the calendar and build around it.

  • THE MANCHESTER CITY STADIUM TOUR

    Behind the scenes at the Etihad — dressing rooms, tunnel and pitchside — booked for a non-match day and built around your fixtures.

    • 1 hr

COACHING

3 ACTIVITIES

  • Coaching Session With UEFA Qualified Football Coach

    COACHING SESSION WITH UEFA QUALIFIED FOOTBALL COACH

    A session run by coaches from a local professional club's academy set-up, added to your stay on the right dates and built around your squad's level.

    • Suitable for most ages
    • 2 hrs
  • GOALKEEPER OR SKILLS CLINIC

    A focused session for goalkeepers, or a technical skills clinic for the squad, run alongside the main festival programme.

  • Play A Football Fixture

    PLAY A FOOTBALL FIXTURE

    Revel arranges a friendly against a club side from the area on a spare afternoon, so the squad gets an extra game that sits outside the tournament draw. It depends on finding a willing opponent who is free that day, and we confirm it once the fixtures are out.

    • Suitable for most ages
    • 2 hrs

DAYS OUT

9 ACTIVITIES

  • CHESHIRE OAKS OUTLET

    The UK's largest outlet centre, with a leisure park alongside it for bowling or a cinema trip if the squad wants both.

  • CHESTER CITY DAY

    The Roman walls, the amphitheatre and the medieval Rows — a walkable city day, close to the festival.

  • CHESTER ZOO

    One of the UK's largest zoos, an easy half or full day out for a squad with some energy left after football.

  • CONWY CASTLE & THE NORTH WALES COAST

    Conwy's medieval castle and walled town, with the coast road alongside it — a half-day out from the holiday parks.

  • Manchester city day

    MANCHESTER CITY DAY

    A day in Manchester city centre — shopping, sights, and the football heritage above if you want to combine the two.

  • RHYL BEACH

    The beach and seafront on the doorstep of the Rhyl parks — an easy, unstructured afternoon between fixtures.

  • Tenpin Bowling

    TENPIN BOWLING

    A relaxed evening off the pitch at a local bowling alley, a good way to close out a day of festival football.

    • Suitable for most ages
    • 2 hrs
  • THE BEATLES STORY: ENTRY TICKET

    The Albert Dock waterfront and The Beatles Story museum, a straightforward city day added either side of the festival.

  • ZIP WORLD, ERYRI (SNOWDONIA)

    Zip lines, forest adventure and underground slate-cavern activities in Eryri National Park, a change of pace from the pitch.

TELL US WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO

A line or two is enough. We come back with a full itinerary for your group, with the football at the centre of it.

PLAN THE TRIP

HOWEVER YOU TRAVEL

Drive up the day before the football starts. Everything from the moment you park is ours.

BY ROAD, FROM ANYWHERE IN THE UK

Most clubs drive. Coaches, minibuses and a convoy of parents' cars, arriving the day before the football starts.

BY FERRY, FROM IRELAND

Dublin to Holyhead and Rosslare to Fishguard are the usual crossings. We can also collect the squad by coach from your own region and include the ferry, so the trip starts at the clubhouse rather than the port.

THROUGH THE TUNNEL, FROM EUROPE

Calais to Folkestone for clubs bringing their own coach across.

BY AIR, FROM ANYWHERE

Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and London are the usual arrivals, but we are not closed to any airport. Your coach meets the group at arrivals, and a Revel rep can be there too if you would rather be met by a person than a placard.

THE FORMAT

HOW THE FOOTBALL
WORKS

Day one runs a group format, with teams usually playing three to four matches. Fixtures are staggered across age groups, so squads typically play in the morning or the afternoon — less waiting around, and the rest of the day free for the park.

Day two is seeded from day one's results: top-performing teams compete for the Revel Cup, middle-ranked teams for the Revel Challenge Cup, and lower-ranked teams for the Revel Shield — so the weekend is built around teams playing both days against opposition of a similar standard, still in the hunt for silverware. Fixture counts and the number of cups follow the entries in each age group.

After each final, teams take the stage with music and the families in full voice, and medals and trophies are presented.

Players per side and formats as set for this tournament — your squad can be bigger, with subs rotating in and out. Cup count per age group depends on entries.

THE PARTY LIVES AT THE PARK

STAY & PLAY

The football is only half the weekend. The whole tour stays together on park — and once the boots come off, the evenings take over: fancy dress, karaoke, live entertainment and a dance floor full of teammates and parents. It's the part of the festival nobody plans for and nobody forgets.
