Booking
& Entry

Everything you need to know before you arrive.

Yes — we strongly recommend booking your Footy Nation session online in advance. Daily slots are limited and once they are full, they are gone. Online bookings always receive priority. Walk-in players are welcome, but only if availability remains, and are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

You can book sessions directly through our website using the online booking system. For birthday parties, group bookings, school visits, or special packages, please contact us by phone or email and our team will help arrange your visit.

Football skills sessions run every 10 minutes throughout the day. Each session costs £14.95 per player.

Footy Nation is designed for all ages — kids, teens, and adults. We recommend players are at least 5 years old to get the most from the experience, as we use size 5, match-weight footballs. Younger children are welcome but may need assistance from an adult.

All football skills games run in groups of 6 players to keep the experience competitive and interactive. If you book fewer than 6 places, you may be grouped with other players in the same time slot. If you prefer a private group, simply book all 6 spaces.

Each game session allows 6 players at a time. Larger groups can book consecutive time slots. You will still be together in The Stadium area and can watch and support each other between turns.

Please aim to arrive 10–15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check-in. If you are late, we will try to minimise disruption. If later slots are available, we may be able to move your booking — but on busy days this is unlikely. Otherwise, you will join your session in progress and any missed games will receive a zero score.

Yes — we understand that plans can change. Bookings can be cancelled for a full refund with at least 24 hours’ notice. With at least 2 hours’ notice, we can move your booking to an alternative date or time. Unfortunately, cancellations or changes requested with less than 2 hours’ notice cannot be accepted.

A standard Footy Nation football skills session lasts approximately 90 minutes. This includes your welcome briefing in the Boot Room, all game challenges, and your results time in the Player’s Lounge. Please allow extra time if you’d like to enjoy additional activities such as Foosball, Subsoccer, or the Fast Feet Elite Arena.
