Norfolk Girls Easter Rugby Festival 2027

Fri 2nd –
Mon 5th April

Formerly the Great Yarmouth Girls Rugby Festival

Same great festival as last year, just a new name – it’s the ultimate stay and play weekend experience!

On Saturday, Girls’ U12, U14, and U16 teams will take to the pitch for a 1-day tournament at Wymondham Rugby Football Club. Set in over 20 beautiful acres of grassland and woods, this venue 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.

Teams will compete in a festival-style format, creating an exciting environment both on and off the pitch as players enjoy a full day of rugby action, teamwork, and memorable moments.

With your free day, head to Great Yarmouth’s vibrant beach front for an unforgettable family day out or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere of your holiday park and the local area.
