WELCOME & INTRODUCTION

Short message from Orpington 1st

Orpington 1st is proud to bring the community together for a summer of football-themed fun in the town centre. As the world comes together for the tournament, we’re creating opportunities for families, friends, and local businesses to enjoy the atmosphere right here on their doorstep.

What the programme is about

Across six weeks, the World Cup Party programme offers a mix of free family activities, football skills sessions, live entertainment, and community-led moments designed to bring energy to the town centre. And it’s not all football. The programme also features a motor show and a music festival, offering residents and visitors fresh experiences throughout the tournament period.

Why the town is celebrating

Major sporting moments have a unique way of uniting people, and this summer is no exception. The World Cup provides a chance for Orpington to celebrate community spirit, support local businesses, and create shared memories in the heart of the town.

Whether you’re a football fan or simply enjoy the buzz of a lively high street, there’s something for everyone.
