What Is #GroundsWeek?

#GroundsWeek is an annual nationwide celebration of the people behind the scenes who make playing surfaces and green spaces look and perform their best. It’s a week dedicated to highlighting the skill of grounds staff, while inspiring everyone to appreciate this vital industry. Whether you’re a professional groundskeeper, a volunteer, or simply someone who loves well-maintained spaces, it's a chance to highlight their expertise, while encouraging more people to consider a career in grounds management.

This week is packed with activities and opportunities to celebrate. You’ll see stories from across the UK showcasing the talent in grounds management, along with interviews and behind-the-scenes content at how top-class playing surfaces and facilities are maintained. From grassroots clubs to iconic stadiums, #GroundsWeek shines a light on the teams and individuals who keep the action going.
