About......

The Shrovetide Committee organises the annual Royal Shrovetide football game, played throughout the streets of Ashbourne in February or March (dates very).

It is a huge undertaking and planning for the next year starts almost as soon as last year's event has finished. Tasks include:

  • Arranging road closures and diversion signposting
  • Booking security and first aid
  • liaison with police, ambulance and fire brigades
  • Organising marshalls
  • Fundraising
  • Insurance
  • Protecting buildings and organising repairs to damage

The event has a shoestring budget and only happens because of the dedication of this group.

The event is for Ashbourne residents and can be dangerous.
