Football Fun with Margate FC

27th June 2026

Westwood Cross Shopping Centre

Westwood Cross is kicking off a day of football-themed fun as Margate Football Club brings its Community Trust programme to the shopping centre’s Community Hub

11am - 4pm

Take part in skills-based activities and games led by Margate First Team Assistant Manager, Matt Longhurst, and defender, Kai Garande.

You will also be able to meet some of the First and Women’s team players and learn more about the club’s community scheme supporting people across Thanet.

The team will also be offering free trials for children to train with the Margate Youth team, providing an opportunity to kick start football careers for young and upcoming talent.

Founded in 2015, Margate FC’s Community Trust is a registered charity that harnesses the power of football to provide practical support for young people, families, older residents and vulnerable groups across the Thanet community. Its work includes improving access to sporting facilities and activities, supporting physical and mental wellbeing, and offering family, education, employment and social support.

A brilliant day of football-themed fun!

Adding to the football festivities, Hotel Chocolat, located near Westwood Cross’s iconic Viking Ship, will host an in-store Panini Sticker Swap Shop from 2pm to 4pm. Football fans can trade FIFA World Cup stickers with friends to help complete their collections, while enjoying samples from Hotel Chocolat’s luxury chocolates and ice creams.
