The all-star event, organised by Sellebrity Soccer, brought together a lineup of celebrities and former professional footballers to play an exciting 11-a-side match. The weekend was not only filled with laughter, excitement, and incredible sunsets but also served as a fundraiser for two local charities, Chemo Hero and Cry. Let's delve into the unforgettable experience!

A Luxurious Base for Celebrity Guests:

Westward Living Self Catering Holiday Cottages proudly welcomed the celebrities for the second time, as they decided to return to Devon due to their previous enjoyable experience. With a collection of 14 luxury self-catering cottages in Westward Ho!, the accommodation provided the perfect base for the guests to relax and unwind before the big game in Bideford. Nestled by the Atlantic Ocean, guests were treated to breathtaking sunsets, creating an idyllic atmosphere throughout the weekend.

Welcoming the Celebrities:

The weekend kicked off with a gathering in the rustic barn, where guests were treated to welcome drinks and chilled-out music. Professional sports therapist Jamie Blackman from Reconfigure Sports Therapy set up his massage table inside the Ocean Kave, offering a sensational sports massage experience for the guests. Even the Love Island guests felt at ease, gazing out over the picturesque island of Lundy. The relaxed and friendly ambiance set the tone for the exciting days ahead.

Magical Performances and Fundraising:

As the sun set and sundowner cocktails were sipped on the lower lawns, local star Yazzy Chamberlain took the stage, surprising everyone with an impromptu duet alongside Flintz, a golden buzzer winner on Britain's Got Talent. The rustic barn reverberated with the harmonious blend of their voices, captivating the audience. It was a magical moment that showcased the incredible talent within the Sellebrity Soccer family. Party backdrops were donated by North Devon Party Celebrations, a fabulous array of feathers, neon and ballons!

The highlight of the weekend was undoubtedly the charity match on Sunday. Led by F2 Legend Billy Wingrove, the teams battled it out on the pitch, showcasing their skills and love for the beautiful game. The match was not only a thrilling spectacle but also raised vital funds for Chemo Hero and Cry, two local charities making a significant impact in the community. Adding to the excitement, Yazzy Chamberlain took centre stage once again, delivering a stunning rendition of a James Arthur song dedicated to the man himself.
