Before you start daydreaming about winning the Southport Se7ens Hockey Festival, we need you to snap out of it and focus on the important stuff.

You must read the information provided below with laser-like precision before submitting your entry. Don’t forget, you also need to cough up a Security Bond (Check Below for details) soon after submitting your form.

And, of course, we can’t forget that this is a memorial festival in honour of Norman Todd, so bring your Festival vibes and your sense of humour to honour the late great Mr.Todd. So, stop procrastinating and get on with it – we believe in you!

Participation Restrictions

If you want to get into the Beer Festival venue and party like it’s 1999, you better wear your wristbands like your life depends on it (well, your party life anyway). And, just a heads up, you need to be at least 14 years old to get in on the action. If you’re under 18, you better bring your favorite adult with you – no, not your imaginary friend, a responsible one who will make sure you don’t do anything too crazy. We want you to have fun but also keep you safe too. So, slap on your wristbands and bring your designated grown-up to the Beer Festival venue. Let the good times roll (not on the ground like footballers)!

Camping

We will be providing camping for those teams who wish to stay over at the hockey venue. There is an additional affordable cost for camping which is outlined below.

Teams will be asked to pay between £25/£35 per tent depending on Size (campers may incur an additional charge). Booking for camping will be taken once your place has been confirmed at the festival and is not required to be paid until all spaces are confirmed, as there is limited space available. Spaces will be allocated on a first come first served basis and will only be allocated after the bond has been paid by the team(s).

Teams will be allowed to arrive late Friday late afternoon, 3:30pm on wards*, to pitch tents ready for the festivals’ start on Saturday Morning. The pitch is yours until Monday Morning deadline for leaving is 12pm*, so you have time for a layin. If you wish to stay for the Beer Festival Weekend, whether you’re taking part in the The Mixed hockey on the Sunday or not.

If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate in contacting us via email or through the contacts form.

For more information about the rules of camping onsite please visit ‘The Rules’ menu at the top and select Camping Rules from the dropdown menu.

*Times may vary depending on accessabilty of the venue.

Heads Up…

Hey there, hockey enthusiasts! Just one final thing… We just wanted to give you a heads up that we reserve the right to switch things up at any point leading up to and during the big weekend, anything you see with a * might be effected but not exclusively – we like to keep you on your toes. And, just so you know, the game time may be extended or reduced based on how many teams we’ve got in the running. We don’t want anyone getting too comfortable out there.

Now, we know what you’re thinking – “where’s the free booze?” Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Players will receive a voucher for one free drink on both Saturday and/or Sunday of the festival depending on the format.

Finally, when you arrive at the festival, we’ll give you a snazzy wristband – but hold on to your hats, because we’re only handing it to the team organiser. We don’t want any wristband mix-ups or shenanigans. So, get ready for a wild ride, folks!
