Scoring a Goal in Every Goal on Hackney Marshes
Annual Event
Registration Closed
Description
Hackney Marshes, with its 69 football pitches, is internationally renowned as the spiritual home of Sunday league.
In an act of playful futility and pure, purposeless delight, Dan undertakes an annual tradition: scoring a goal in every one of the 138 goals across the marshes.
This whimsical endeavour exists not for competition or glory, but simply for the sake of it - a celebration of the charm found in the gloriously unnecessary.
The event unfolds as a communal experience rather than a structured game. Participants bring their own footballs, goals are scored from the correct direction and it lasts about 2.5 hours.
There are no nets, no goalkeepers, and no winners - just a shared embrace of silliness and the mutual love of doing something entirely for fun. It’s a gathering that connects people through laughter, camaraderie and the universal appeal of lighthearted play.
The next event will take place in December 2025. For updates, join the mailing list below. All abilities are welcome.
