Five Acre Wood School Charity Football Match 2026

Join us for our charity football match, Five Acre Wood School Vs staff and volunteers from Maidstone Utd FC and Stones in the Community.

We are delighted to be heading back to the Gallagher Stadium in Maidstone for our fourth consecutive football match!

Our FAW team — made up of staff, family members, and friends — will take on the incredible staff and volunteers from Maidstone United FC and Stones in the Community.

There's no time for stoppage time, we have got two full hours of fiercely fun football ahead!

The price per ticket is just £10 per adult, £5 for under 16s, under 5’s is free. This year we have again a family ticket for £28.00 (2 adults and up to 3 children). Doors open at 6.00pm and kick off is at 7.00 pm on Friday 12th June.

Drinks, hot food, ice cream and face painting will also be available to purchase as well as a raffle on the evening with tickets priced at just £2. Be in for a chance to win a range of amazing prizes including a Nintendo Switch plus a game; a shirt signed by George Elokobi and the rest of the team; a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser; a Family ticket for 4 to Port Lympe and much more.

New for this year! We are super excited to introduce a penalty shootout with Iggy the Dinosaur — Maidstone United FC very own mascot! Iggy will be at the stadium from 6pm until half time, so make sure you come along and get involved. Please note, this activity will take place within the stadium, but not on the main pitch.

There is limited free parking at the stadium, but there are various pay and display car parks within walking distance.

Apart from having a fantastic time at the match, you will be supporting a wonderful local charity where all money raised from the event will go towards running and providing essential football resources for our fabulously fun football sessions for pupils across all sites. These sessions promote a variety of learning experiences that support the development of teamwork, communication, movement, and following adult instruction just to name a few!

The sessions are supported by the wonderful Lorraine and Cellen from Stones in the Community, which is the charitable arm of Maidstone United Football Club. The charity has delivered a range of programs since starting, that reflect its commitment to improving the education, health, and well-being of its local communities. We are very fortunate to have Lorraine and Cellen as our coaches who provide a differentiated learning experience, allowing all our pupils to access these sessions.

Get ready for cheeky dribbles, daring tackles, and maybe the odd fancy flick, as our teams take to the pitch for some fun-filled football — all for a brilliant cause. We can’t wait to see you cheering from the stands!
