Muggle Quidditch

Valiant teams of muggles will take to the quidditch pitch, playing for the love of the sport and to provide an entertaining hour or two for the spectators. Brave bunch! The game of muggle quidditch is still finding its audience worldwide, but if you’re able to catch a match you’ll see that it’s a fast paced game that needs to be played with skill and cunning!

This is your chance to take part in our 2024 Quidditch Tournament. Four teams of muggles will compete for the Wirksworth Cup! Bring your supporters to cheer you on.

The tournament is for adults. You can either enter as a team of 7 to 10 players or as an individual to join our very own Wirksworth Wyverns, who play in red!
