Gates open at 10am and the training session will start at 11am. Before the players take to the pitch, there will be entertainment including face painting and a freestyler as well as the club’s faithful mascot Cherry Bear!

After training, there will be an opportunity for young fans to meet the players and have a single item signed.

The players will only have a certain amount of time to allocate to the signing section of the event and, while we will try to accommodate everyone who wants to attend, we cannot guarantee all children getting an autograph.

Please also note that we cannot advise an end time due to the nature of this event.

Tickets cost just £5 and can be bought now either in person at the Vitality Stadium ticket office or over the phone on 0344 576 1910 (option one, then option one). With every paying Junior Cherry, a maximum of one adult is admitted free of charge.

Tickets include a food voucher to claim a Junior Cherries meal deal on the concourse, while £2.50 of every ticket sold will go to this season’s Junior Cherries charity, Autism Wessex. 

The ticket office will be open from 9am on the day of the event for supporters wishing to renew their membership and purchase a ticket to the event. However, we would strongly advise purchasing in advance as there may be long queues and a delay getting into the ground.

Please wear appropriate clothing/sun protection depending on the weather on the day.

If you have a question or any specific access requirements, please email [email protected] with your query and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Please also note that by purchasing a ticket to this event you are agreeing for the club to take and use your photo for promotional purposes.
