The open Easter tournament — festival football without the frills.
from £479 per personstay & festival entry
THE WEEKEND
The Easter Open runs alongside our flagship Easter weekend: a straight-up festival tournament for clubs who want great fixtures, proper organisation and a weekend away without the full package build-out.
Same weekend, same standards — a full card of games and a competition that finds your level by day two.
If your club wants in on the Easter weekend, this is the simplest way through the gate.
WHAT'S IN THE WEEKEND
- Easter weekend fixture programme
- Open entry for clubs of all levels
- Full festival organisation
- Medals and finals to close the weekend
HOW IT FEELS
THE REVEL
WEEKEND
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
MAKE MORE OF THE TRIP
The tournament is the reason to come. Everything around it is yours to shape — tell us the kind of trip you have in mind and we build the itinerary, the transport and the timings around the football.
STADIUMS & HERITAGE
STADIUMS & FOOTBALL HERITAGE
The North West is home to some of the game's biggest grounds. Build a stadium tour, a museum visit, or match tickets into your stay, on the days that work.
Old Trafford tour & museum
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.
Etihad Stadium tour
Behind the scenes at the Etihad — dressing rooms, tunnel and pitchside — booked for a non-match day and built around your fixtures.
Anfield stadium tour & LFC museum
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.
National Football Museum, Manchester
Four galleries and interactive exhibits covering the whole history of the game, a straightforward half-day in Manchester city centre.
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.
TRAIN WITH THE PROS
TRAIN WITH THE PROS
Extra football on top of the festival, run by coaches who work in the professional game.
Coaching session with a local professional club
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.
Friendly fixture against a local side
An extra match against a club from the area, arranged around the festival draw and subject to a willing opponent being free that day.
Goalkeeper or skills clinic
A focused session for goalkeepers, or a technical skills clinic for the squad, run alongside the main festival programme.
DAYS OUT
DAYS OUT
Chester, the North Wales coast and Merseyside are all close by. A free morning or afternoon can easily carry a day out, built into your itinerary.
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.
Zip World, Eryri (Snowdonia)
Zip lines, forest adventure and underground slate-cavern activities in Eryri National Park, a change of pace from the pitch.
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.
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.
Rhyl beach
The beach and seafront on the doorstep of the Rhyl parks — an easy, unstructured afternoon between fixtures.
Tenpin bowling evening
A relaxed evening off the pitch at a local bowling alley, a good way to close out a day of festival football.
TELL US WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO DO
A line or two is enough. We come back with a full itinerary, priced for your group, with the football at the centre of it.
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 puts you about an hour from the North Wales coast, which is why the Easter Cup works so well from Ireland — with Rosslare to Fishguard as the southern crossing. 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.
