Second tournament, March 2015

The second British Quidditch Cup took place on 7–8 March 2015. After five location bids were submitted in May–June 2014, the location for the tournament was narrowed down to the venues proposed by the Loughborough Longshots, Nottingham Nightmares and Norwich Nifflers. After much deliberation, site visits and further communication, the organising committee accepted the bid put forward by the Nightmares, resulting in the event taking place at Wollaton Hall and Deer Park, Nottingham.[4] 23 teams from across the UK competed in BQC 2 with Southampton Quidditch Club’s first team claiming the title from last year’s champions, Oxford Radcliffe Chimeras.[5]
