Occupiers are getting ready for some more friendly competition and loads of fun at the Lakeside Cup 2025 Five-a-Side Football Tournament on Wednesday 4 June from 12noon to 4pm at the King George V Football Complex — next to Lakeside.

Following on from the inaugural Lakeside World Cup 2024 where we saw Lakeside North Harbour occupier, Carrington West emerge as champions, this year will we see new contenders enter the playing field to challenge for the title, will old rivals push for glory or will Carrington West retain the title. Only time will tell.

The Lakeside Cup is the perfect opportunity for everyone working at the Lakeside Business Campus to come together, whether they’re on the pitch playing or cheering from the sidelines. Companies are invited to assemble their best five-a-side teams and compete for the prestigious Lakeside Trophy. That’s not all—there are also cash vouchers up for grabs, all players will receive a free lunch and the player who stands out the most will be awarded the Player of the Tournament prize!

The tournament is open to mixed teams of all abilities, so there is no pressure if players are not football pro’s — everyone is welcome to join in the fun. This year will see an updated knockout style tournament with each team playing at least three games. We are encouraging all occupiers to come along and support their colleagues. The more, the merrier!

Best of all, this event is completely free for all of our Lakeside occupiers and staff.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic event—let’s make the Lakeside Cup 2025 another one to remember.

Thanks to our partners Hampshire Football Association for supporting this event.

Information on how occupiers enter a team can be found on the My Lakeside app or by contacting the helpdesk team.

Occupiers are invited to join in our VE Day celebrations which are taking place on Thursday 8 May from 12:00 – 14:00 on the Ornamental Lawn at Building 2000.

This year represents the 80th anniversary of VE day so to help celebrate we have booked a vocal duo from the Silhouette show to perform songs from the 1900′ through to 1960’s. Songs will span across two sets which include a VE Day Special (1900’s to the 1940’s) and a Vintage party set (1950’s – 1960’s, rock and roll, Motown style).

Victory in Europe (VE) Day celebrations are held to mark the day World War II ended in Europe after Germany’s unconditional surrender the previous day on May 7, 1945.

Occupiers are invited to join us on Tuesday 22 April on Earth Day 2025, to celebrate the completion of the Lakeside solar panel project, a light lunch will be served with the presentation starting at 1.30pm in The Blue Room.

The Lord Mayor of Portsmouth will be in attendance alongside Cllr Kimberley Barrett, who is the cabinet member for Climate Change and Environment.  Representatives from the Portsmouth City Council Energy Team will give details of the project and what this now means for Lakeside and the local community.

Don’t miss this opportunity to find out more about this amazing sustainability initiative, a major project and green initiative, which has recently been completed on site.
