A major event is the annual Football Frolic; a five-a-side football tournament held in June. Forty to fifty teams enter, from 6-7 year olds to the over fifties. Girls' and womens' teams are also represented. This event is open to members of the club and Wickwar residents.
The first reference to organised Association Football in Wickwar was in 1893. There have been teams in this small "town" ever since, with some decades bringing more honours than others. Early on in the 1900s, the team was called Wickwar Athletic. But fashions change and so did the name, and Wickwar Athletic became Wickwar Rovers then Wickwar United until 1990 when it became Wickwar Wanderers. With a number of breweries in Wickwar, it is not surprising that Wickwar teams were locally referred to as "The Brewers" in the first decades of the century.
