Knot A Sports Day Returns for 2026

Staffordshire’s largest business team building event is back for 2026, with Knot A Sports Day set to return on Friday 12 June.

Hosted at University of Staffordshire, this is throwback to the classic school sports day with a twist – you’re competing against other businesses from across the county.

Teams of four to eight will compete in nostalgic favourites like egg-and-spoon races, three-legged races plus modern twists including inflatable challenges plus new for 2026 – a World Cup special penalty shootout challenge!

Knot A Sports Day, is organised by a vibrant collective of Staffordshire-based businesswomen, with the aim to raise £10,000 split across 10 worthwhile charities including:

• Stoke City Foundation
• Port Vale FC Foundation
• The Hubb Foundation
• Gingerbread Family Support
• AED Donate
• Horizon Fund
• Brake
• North Staffs Link Line
• The Alice Charity
• Symmetrical Staffs

Team entry is £450, with each business team member who signs up receiving personalised commemorative team t-shirts.

Fiona Hawkins, MD at Plinkfizz and Co-Organiser of Knot A Sports Day commented, “We’ve had an incredible response to Knot A Sports Day so far, with over 20 teams signed up. Our aim is to get over 400 members of the Staffordshire business community involved and raising money for these worthwhile charities.

“As this year’s event coincides with the World Cup, we’ve also added a special penalty shootout challenge, along with other fun themed games. The atmosphere on the day is incredible, with everyone embracing the day and having a lot of fun both with their teammates and other charities.”

Sponsorship opportunities are also available with Platinum, Gold (£1500), Silver (£850) and Bronze (£450), Mascot (£350) packages available; email info@knot-events.co.uk for more information.
