Held every four years since 1930, the Games is an international sporting event for countries that are part of the Commonwealth of Nations, a voluntary association of 56 sovereign states which serves as a platform for cooperation and friendship.

This time the Games were staged from 23 July 2026 – 2 August 2026 in Glasgow, and featured 74 nations, 2,729 athletes, and 215 events across 10 sports held at iconic venues in the city.

If you’re wondering how we fared, wonder no more….

England: 15 gold, 30 silver, 20 bronze (65 total)

This fantastic achievement makes us the second highest medal winners after Australia, who earned an incredible 110.

Maybe we’ll beat them next time!

Folkestone Town Council were pleased and proud to display the Commonwealth flags for the duration of the Games, and we look forward to continuing to support the Games when they are next held in 2030 in Ahmedabad, India.
