Saturday 5th September 2026 | From 12:30pm
Norton Athletic FC are back at The Highfield this Saturday as Thetford Rovers visit us for Round 2 of the Norfolk Senior Cup.
After an incredible opening weekend at our new clubhouse, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back for another Saturday afternoon at The Highfield.
And if you missed our opening weekend, this is your chance to come and see what we’ve been building.
The Highfield is about much more than 90 minutes of football.
Come down from 12:30pm, grab some lunch, enjoy a drink or proper coffee, bring the children, bring the dog and make an afternoon of it before the Cup action begins at 2:30pm.
One of the biggest successes of our opening weekend was The Millers Kids Zone – and we’re delighted to confirm that the Kids Zone is a permanent feature of matchdays at The Highfield.
This wasn’t something we created just for our opening Fun Day.
We want The Highfield to be a football ground that families genuinely enjoy visiting, with a dedicated area where our younger Millers can have fun while being part of the matchday experience.
The Kids Zone will be open again from 12:30pm this Saturday, with our games and activities available for children to enjoy.
The football might stop for 15 minutes at half-time, but the action doesn’t!
Our young supporters will once again get the opportunity to take part in our:
⚽ Half-Time Kids Penalty Shootout Challenge
Another part of the new Highfield matchday experience that we want our younger supporters to look forward to whenever the Millers are at home.
There’s no need to wait until 2:30pm to arrive.
The Highfield opens from 12:30pm, giving you plenty of time to enjoy everything we’ve created before kick-off.
