Join us in Cyprus with our Football Course running between 27th and 31st October 2025 for a half-term family holiday to remember — with Darren Bent leading the way.
Hosted at the five-star Parklane Resort & Spa in Limassol, this Football Escapes experience brings together world-class coaching, premium relaxation, and quality time for the whole family — all on the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast.
Each morning, your children will be coached by Darren Bent and our UEFA-licensed team, learning new skills in a safe, fun and supportive setting. While the kids are out on the pitch, parents can enjoy everything Parklane has to offer — from the award-winning spa and adults-only pool to laid-back lunches by the sea.
In the afternoons, it’s all about being together — whether that’s a swim as a family, a shared excursion, or simply unwinding with a drink as the sun goes down.
From pitch-side excitement to poolside calm, this is what proper family time looks like.
