Three Bridges FC is throwing open its doors to local children, youth players and families for free this Saturday, 28 March 2026, as the club hosts a special Non-League Day event at Jubilee Field in Crawley.

The 125-year-old grassroots football club will welcome Beckenham Town FC for their home league match, with free entry for young people and families. The day will feature family entertainment including face painting, fairground rides and live music before and after the match.

Non-League Day is a national celebration of grassroots football that takes place during international breaks, giving supporters a chance to discover affordable, community-run clubs in their area.

Three Bridges FC, based at Jubilee Field on Three Bridges Road, competes in the Isthmian League South East Division, which sits at Step 4 of the English football ladder. The club currently has six league games remaining in the season and is encouraging the local community to come along and show their support.

Saturday’s match marks a return fixture against Beckenham Town, whom Three Bridges beat 6-1 earlier this month on 10 March 2026. Striker Noel Leighton scored four goals in that victory, taking his league tally to 29 goals for the season so far.

The event follows a significant year for the club, which opened a new one million pound 3G synthetic pitch at Jubilee Field in March 2025. The facility was funded through the Premier League, Football Association (FA), Football Foundation, Crawley Borough Council and club fundraising efforts.

Three Bridges FC runs men’s, women’s and youth teams ranging from under-sevens through to adults, making it a key part of the local sporting community. For more information about the club and Saturday’s event, visit the Three Bridges FC website.
