The Bees Experience
You’ll see real class on the pitch – from experienced ex-professional footballers to promising young players with the potential to go on to carve out a career in the professional game. Real dedication to every match. In fact, everything about the game is real at this level. Real heart and real talent, from real people. We also encourage direct access to the players, so you can have a chat with them after the game and get their autographs, which is particularly inspiring for our young football fans.
And as well as being up close and personal with the golden game, you’ll experience a fun, friendly, family atmosphere. Positive, supportive, generous of voice and spirit; this is a club with a real sense of community and social togetherness.
Come to a game to see exactly what we mean… And while you’re here, order a perfectly poured pint in The Bees Sports bar and stroll straight from the bar onto the terraces. That’s not something you can do at many football stadiums. You can at Basildon United Football Club.
Clubhouse
The Bees Sports Bar is our stylish clubhouse providing drinks and snacks for spectators. The bar also boasts a state of the art TV and sound system showing live sports throughout the year.
Refreshments
Your match day experience wouldn’t be complete without a burger and chips! Spectators can find a selection of hot food and drinks at the tea bar within the ground.
