Following analysis of the size and number of available conkers we have concluded that there are a sufficient amount of large playing conkers for the 2025 event to go ahead.
Congratulations to Mags Blake, Matt Cross, Felix Axmacher and Nicoda Hutchinson; our new World Conker Champions for 2025! We’d also like to congratulate the Conker Cowboys for winning the team competition. Well played all!
A Unique Experience
Even if you’re not competing, conkers is great fun to spectate. Especially, when watching the world’s best!
What would a day spectating conkers be without some great local caterers and a well stocked beer tent?
Beyond conkers, we have performances, live music, children’s rides and more to keep the whole family busy!
Unfortunately, all places to compete in the 2025 Adult World Conker Championships have now been filled. As a result, we will not be accepting any new players on the day of the event, as we normally would.
However, it is still possible for kids to compete in the Junior World Conker Championships. All children aged under 16 can claim a spot in the competition as part of their fee to enter the event!
Anyone can register to play in the World Conker Championships. So, don’t miss out on your chance to compete and be crowned as the 2026 Conker King or Queen.
For us, the World Conker Championships is a great way to have some fun while protecting the heritage of the game of conkers. However, beyond even that, we also donate what we can to charities that aid the visually impaired. To date, we’ve given over £485,000 since 1965 and we’re nowhere near done yet.

There are still sponsorship opportunities available for the 2026 Championships. If you’re interested or know of a company that might be, please get in contact.
A Traditional Game
A classic schoolground game of conkers is very simple, which is what makes it so fun. If you’ve not played before, we can teach you how to.
At the World Conker Championships, we have our own specific set of rules. So, if you plan to compete this year, we advise taking a look at them.
Holding a conker competition might sound simple, but we have a whole host of officials involved to make sure it is run smoothly and fairly.
