Wash in Split 2026
The Wash 2026 tour will be to Split, Croatia over the weekend of 2-4 October.
New tour manager Brian Wingfield is off to a flying start and has arranged for us to play two matches, so hopefully there'll be at least one game for everyone who wants a taste of the action!
According to the daily Telegraph:
Croatia’s second city is a revelation.
Here you’ll find a seafront gem that combines honeycombs of unique historical buildings with a cosmopolitan, palm-lined “Riva” waterfront and a glorious wooded peninsula (the “Marjan”), where there are secluded beaches adrift with pine cones and feathered by olive groves.
At the heart of the Old Town is a unique city-within-a-city, the fortifications of the former Roman palace built for the Emperor Diocletian.
Its grid of majestic monuments is overlaid with bustling medieval alleyways and crammed with higgledy-piggledy shops and restaurants. Visit for the annual Summer Festival (July 14-August 14), when the palace’s magnificent courtyard – the “Peristyle” – is transformed into an open-air stage.
Refreshing breezes from the Adriatic mean summer temperatures are seldom oppressive in Split. And if you do need to cool off, there’s a jolly town beach (Bacvice), and boat trips aplenty from the Riva to the neighbouring islands of Solta, Brac and Hvar.
The recommended hotel for this tour - ie the one that's been recommended by our hosts, and at which you will find a critical mass of Washmen sleeping it off or recovering by the swimming pool - is still being sorted out.
