About us

Plymouth is gearing up for an action-packed day as the Celebration of Women and Girls in Sport event takes place at Home Park on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, sponsored by Babcock, and in partnership with Plymouth City Council and Active Devon.

This FREE half-term event promises a fantastic afternoon and evening for families and friends, with opportunities to discover new sports, meet local teams, and enjoy live demonstrations.

Discover new sports, meet local teams, and try activities like cheerleading, boxing, football, water sports, and more.

Alongside the sporting action, a dedicated Health and Wellbeing Zone will offer practical advice on looking after both physical and mental health, as well as raising important awareness around violence against women and girls.

With stadium cover ensuring the event goes ahead rain or shine, and free parking at Milehouse Park & Ride, this is the perfect way to spend a day during half-term.

As part of the activities, your free ticket gives you entry to Argyle's FA Women's National League clash against Exeter City at the Theatre of Greens (7.30pm KO). Make sure you stay around, get behind, and cheer on Marie Hourihan's side from the stands in the Devon Derby!
