Chippenham Games 2026
Stanley Park Sports Ground was incredibly proud to host the Chippenham Games again this year. This two-day event involved nearly 500 Year 6 pupils from local primary schools and gave them the opportunity to take part in a range of exciting activities.
The Games are a London Olympic Legacy event, which the Town Council has held since 2012, working with Chippenham Schools Sports Partnership.
The Games also ease the transition of pupils from primary to secondary education as they are grouped in a way to enable them to make new friends who will be at the same new school.
Over 7500 Year Six students have now attended the event, before transitioning to one of the three senior schools in Chippenham.
An official video was commissioned for the event, which can be viewed on the link below.

You may see our Environmental Services team cutting back hedges and shrubs in the next few months, as part of their duties.
Hedge and shrub maintenance ordinarily takes place between 1st August and 28th February, in line with the bird nesting season. Hedges and shrubs are generally cut once annually during the Autumn/Winter maintenance programme, in accordance with the character of the area and to ensure the safe use of the town’s roads, pavements, parks, open spaces and residential properties.
Hedges are one of the most common issues reported to us. If you have a concern about a hedge or shrub that requires maintenance, please use our Report It system to inform us and we will ascertain ownership and take action where required - bit.ly/ReportIt_
Trees are more than part of our landscape, they often become part of our memories. Perhaps it's the tree you pass on your daily walk, one that provides welcome shade on a sunny day, or one that reminds you of a special moment.
Which tree in Chippenham means the most to you?
Tomorrow is the final day to nominate your favourite tree. Everyone who submits a nomination will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a £100 garden centre voucher.
The tree must be located within the Chippenham parish boundary and visible from a public space.
