2 Weeks to Go – Lichfield Squash Festival is Almost Here!

Saturday 12th July 2025 | 10:00am – 4:00pm
King Edward VI School Sports Centre, Lichfield

We are now just two weeks away from the first-ever Lichfield Squash Festival — a full day of free squash, community celebration and great matches. Here is everything you need to know about how the day is shaping up and how you can get involved.

Club Closed Championship – Finalists Almost Confirmed!

The draws have now almost reached their conclusion, with a couple of semi-finals still to play, and we will then be all set for an exciting run of finals on the day.

Grade A to D Finals will take place throughout the afternoon. The Junior Final will kick off the championship matches.

Thanks to everyone who has played their matches in great spirit. It’s going to be a fantastic showcase of club talent!

Free Gifts for Taster Session Players

Everyone who takes part in a free taster session will receive:

A starter or improver squash ball
A handmade Lichfield Squash Festival fridge magnet, created by coach Lukasz and his daughter Mia, one of our Junior Academy stars!

A great way to leave a lasting impression and encourage new players to return.

Special Guests Confirmed

We are honoured to be joined on the day by:

Dave Robertson MP
Cllr Richard Cox, Lichfield District Council
Mrs Catharine Forster, Headteacher, King Edward VI School
Andy Downing-Booth, our generous sponsor from Andrew Downing-Booth Estate Agents

All will be helping to present trophies and prizes and show their support for grassroots sport in Lichfield.
