In summary:
- There are 5 rounds, Swiss format
- Time control is 5 minutes + 5 seconds
- The tournament is Rated
- 1 minute between rounds
- Kick off is at 7:30 pm.

The tournaments are not always on the same day of the week but you will get a lichess message telling you about the next tournament and will be to see upcoming tournaments on the team page.
I would highly recommend these Wessex Weekly tournaments.
