Festival of Sport

Who we are?

Festival of Sport is a multi-sport festival that brings children, families and sporting communities together for inclusive participation, expert coaching and unforgettable experiences. Taking place at Packington Estate in Warwickshire, the festival delivers activity across dozens of sports, from rugby and athletics to archery and trampolining, and inspires young people aged 5–17 to get active and try something new.

Why we partnered with kitround

This partnership supports Festival of Sport’s mission to reduce barriers to participation and get more children (and adults!) playing sport.

Our objectives together

We aim to champion accessibility and sustainability in grassroots sport by extending the life of unused kit and eliminating waste. Proceeds from donated and resold kit will support programmes and resources that help children engage in sport, build confidence and develop lifelong active habits.

"Festival of Sport is about bringing families together around activity and shared experience. Working with kitround supports that vision — extending the life of kit, reducing waste and helping more children feel confident stepping onto the field."

Austin Healey, former England rugby player and British & Irish Lion

What's next?

Festival of Sport and kitround will collaborate on future festival kit, campaigns and community engagement initiatives, with a focus on driving participation and sustainability. We want families, clubs and young athletes to have more opportunities to be active, reduce waste and support one another, both on and off the field.

Why we exist

In the UK an estimated 100,000 tonnes of sportswear ends up in landfill each year.
