Great Yarmouth Girls Rugby Festival 2026

Fri 27th –
Mon 30th March

This incredible 1-day festival offers your team the ultimate stay and play experience!

Join us for an event that perfectly blends rugby action with family fun! Girls in U12, U14, and U16 age groups will take to the pitch for a 1-day tournament crowd-roaring competition and have the other day to make the most of all Great Yarmouth has to offer.

The competition venue, Wymondham RFC, set in over 20 beautiful acres of grassland and woods boasts excellent facilities! Here, you can expect great rugby pitches, changing rooms, toilets, ample parking, and the social heart of the club, the clubhouse, which overlooks the first team pitch.

This event was a HUGE hit last year, and it’s selling out quickly!
