NEW FOR 2026: NFEST Football Challenge!
We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Needingworth Colts U8 Blue to NFEST for the very first time this year
They’ll be bringing energy, fun, and a bit of friendly competition to the field—with a series of football challenges for all ages to get stuck into:
Keepy-Uppy Challenge
Speed Dribble
Target Shooting
Beat the Keeper
Think you’ve got what it takes? Come and test your football skills at NFEST and take on the team!
Some of the young players will be there throughout the day too—so it’s a brilliant chance to meet them, cheer them on, and see grassroots football in action
They’re fundraising for their 2026/27 kit and equipment, so every challenge you take on helps support the future of local football.
This is a team that believes football should be fun, inclusive, and full of encouragement—where effort matters, everyone belongs, and community is just as important as what happens on the pitch.
Come and take on the NFEST Football Challenge—and support grassroots football in our village!
Call for community partners!
NFEST is a family-friendly festival and we love to open up our site to local community groups, charities and providers of family-friendly activities on the Saturday 27 June. If you’d like to run a stall, offer an activity or even do a demonstration of your club or group to entertain our crowds, we’d love to hear from you.
