Bristol 2028
A serious championship for allstar cheer and dance — starting with our Bristol debut and growing with the clubs who join us. Format, divisions, scoring and timings are being finalised and are marked TBC.
The format
We’re scoping the debut around one thing: a brilliant experience for every team. We’ll start at the size that lets us run a sharp, well-paced competition — and as more clubs come on board, Ignyte grows with them. If the demand is there, that can mean more divisions, more space, and potentially more days.
Whatever the final shape, the fundamentals stay the same: scheduled warm-up rotations, a clear published running order, and enough room backstage so the day never feels like a scramble. Want a say in the format? Tell us what works for your teams.
The essentials
Venue & travel
We're targeting SGS WISE Arena in Bristol — a genuine arena in the well-connected South West. The venue is provisional: as Ignyte grows we may add dates and cities, so we'll confirm the final venue — with floor plans, warm-up areas and spectator details — here first.
SGS College, WISE Campus, Filton Avenue, Stoke Gifford, Bristol BS34 7ATBristol Parkway (approx. 1.5 miles)
Direct services from South Wales, the Midlands and London.
M4 / M5 nearby
Easy for minibuses; on-site parking.
Bristol Airport (approx. 12 miles)
For clubs travelling further.
Club rates on hotels & travel.
Bringing a squad shouldn't cost a fortune before you've even arrived. We're lining up negotiated rates with hotels near the venue and on group travel — and, just like our suppliers promise, every saving goes straight to your club and families, not our margin. Details land here closer to the event.

Proper floor, lighting and sound, with good sightlines for the crowd.

The Sportsmanship Award
All day long, our staff and judges are watching for it — the teams who cheer loudest for everyone else, pick each other up, and treat volunteers, rivals and officials with respect. Their notes through the day decide our Sportsmanship Award. You can't drill it or choreograph it — you just have to mean it.
