We’re excited to officially launch one of the standout charity events in the 2026 calendar, The Duke of Edinburgh Cup Wales, proudly supported by RMS.

Building on the success of last year’s charity day, this year we’re going even bigger, more inclusive and more impactful. This isn’t just a golf event – it’s a full day experience designed to bring together businesses, communities and young people through challenge, curiosity and opportunity.

A New Chapter for 2026

Last year’s event exceeded expectations with the quality of the golf and the positive energy around our first ever Beyond the Fairway experience.

For 2026, we’re taking a new step forward.

We’re proud to introduce The Duke of Edinburgh Cup Wales as a brand new addition to this year’s event, elevating the day to a nationally recognised qualifying competition and creating an even stronger connection to the life changing impact of the DofE programme.

⛳ The Golf: Compete for Two Prestigious Titles

At the heart of the day is the opportunity to play on the iconic Twenty Ten Course at Celtic Manor, in a competitive but inclusive format.

The Peter John O’Toole Cup

Teams of four (two pairs) will compete for the Peter John O’Toole Cup, with amazing on course challenges and prizes and plenty of friendly competition along the way.

The Duke of Edinburgh Cup Wales Qualifier

New for 2026, the event will also host The Duke of Edinburgh Cup Wales qualifying competition.

The winning pair will earn a place at The Duke of Edinburgh Cup World Finals, a truly once in a lifetime experience. With expenses covered, qualifiers will enjoy:

• World class golf at renowned courses including Wentworth
• Exclusive hospitality and events
• The opportunity to play within the grounds of the Royal Household
• A Gala Prize Giving Dinner at Windsor Castle, attended by a member of the Royal Family

All this plus breakfast, on course refreshments and a post round BBQ dinner at the Celtic Manor.

It’s a unique blend of competition, prestige and unforgettable experience, all in support of two incredible causes.

Beyond the Fairway: An Experience for Everyone

One of the biggest evolutions of the event is Beyond the Fairway, designed for non-golfers or those looking for something different from the traditional golf day.

🔬 Techniquest Challenges

Kick off the day with hands on team STEM challenges led by Techniquest. Expect creative problem solving, innovation and a bit of friendly competition that is all designed to spark curiosity and collaboration.

🏌️ Give Golf a Go with Wales Golf

Try something new with Wales Golf coaches guiding relaxed, beginner friendly golf sessions on the range and putting green. No experience needed, just a willingness to give it a go.

🔥 Fireside Conversations

The afternoon will feature a series of informal, inspiring discussions with special guests from business, sport and the charity sector. These sessions will explore themes of curiosity, resilience, leadership and opportunity, with a strong link to youth development and STEM.

Driving Real Impact

This event proudly supports both DofE Wales and Techniquest, helping young people build confidence, develop skills and access opportunities they might not otherwise have.

Young people have been disproportionately affected following the challenges of the pandemic. This is why charities like Techniquest and the DofE are so important and we are thrilled to be supporting them this year – especially on their birthdays!

This year DofE celebrates their 70th birthday and Techniquest celebrates their 40th birthday!

Everything about the day, from the golf to the challenges, is designed to reflect that mission.
