Great Yarmouth Girls Rugby Festival

Get ready for one of the standout weekends in girls’ rugby – the Great Yarmouth Girls Rugby Festival!

Kicking off with a full day of action at Wymondham RFC, U12–U18 teams will hit the pitch for a tournament packed with teamwork, tackles, and try-scoring moments. It’s all about good vibes, great rugby, and memories in the making.

Off the field? Sunday’s yours to explore seaside fun in Great Yarmouth – from thrill rides at the Pleasure Beach to arcades, cafes, and classic beach walks.

You’ll stay just up the coast at Hemsby Beach Holiday Park – complete with a pool, arcade, restaurant, and plenty of space to chill with the squad.

Fun fact: It’s one of the few girls’ rugby festivals where you can celebrate your win just minutes from the sea!

Portugal Youth Rugby Festival

Sun, rugby, and a whole lot of squad pride – welcome to the Portugal Youth Rugby Festival in Lisbon!

This is one of Europe’s biggest and most exciting junior rugby events – and girls’ teams are right at the heart of the action. Open to U12–U18 squads, it’s a weekend where girls from across the globe come together to compete, connect, and celebrate everything rugby stands for.

Held at the impressive University Stadium Complex – home of the Portuguese National Rugby Team – you’ll play on elite-level pitches with pro-standard facilities, all in the heart of Lisbon. The vibe? Serious talent, international friendships, and a buzzing festival atmosphere.

Off the pitch, there’s plenty of time to soak up the city’s sights, beaches, and culture. From scenic tram rides to sunset team dinners, Lisbon is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable tour.

Fun fact: This is one of the only festivals where girls’ teams can tackle world-class rugby and explore one of Europe’s most awarded cities in one epic weekend!

Or Something More Lowkey?

If your team isn’t interested in entering a tournament, a bespoke sports tour may be the solution for you.

We understand that not all teams want to play in a tournament. Perhaps your team is just starting out, or you fancy a more well-rounded experience. Opportunities to visit cities, theme parks, water parks or stadiums are great for team-bonding!

Big on Value

Our packages have everything sorted for you. The festival, the travel, the accommodation, an awards ceremony, and every other detail in between! Ensuring you’re set and supported throughout is what we do! High quality, high enjoyment, and low costs!

It’s time to take your team and tactics up a notch!
