All our mini and junior rugby festivals are RFU approved so you can be assured that they will be run in line with the governing bodies’ guidelines to ensure a safe and secure environment for your team.

While the rugby aspect is clearly a key factor at our festivals, it is equally important to allow your players time to enjoy team building and fun activities with their friends, as from our rugby festival feedback surveys this is one of the most important factors for them and it is often cited as one of the highlights of the weekend.

We also appreciate a rugby festival format is not for everyone, so if you prefer a fixture based tour which can be combined with an activity or watching top flight rugby then have a look at our Premiership Rugby Weekends, as this is a very popular alternative to our festival options.


HIGH QUALITY RUGBY FESTIVALS FOR 2024

A rugby festival can provide an excellent focal point around which to base your rugby tour. Burleigh Travel offer a variety of rugby festivals in numerous destinations; each combining accommodation selected specifically for the age of your team, participation in well run established tournaments, and a range of activities to keep your group entertained during their stay.

With our mini and junior rugby festivals becoming so popular many clubs return year after year meaning space at our events for new clubs to participate in is fairly limited, so the earlier you can make your enquiry the higher the chance will be to secure your space at one of our mini and junior rugby festivals or events. We can also tailor your tour to suit your individual requirements so please feel free to contact us to discuss what you have in mind.

Testimonials

  • I just wanted to say what a fantastic weekend we had. From U7 to U13 the players parents and coaches, all 297 of us have had the best tour to date. The organisation was top drawer and all seemed to flow perfect. The park was awesome as it was previously.

    Anyway big high five to the whole team you smashed it. 

    Enfield Ignatians  RFC U7-U13, Bournemouth Tour (April 2022)

  •  

    This was the second year we have worked with Burleigh Travel to arrange our junior tour and again it was fantastic!
    All of the team are brilliant, helpful and friendly. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are prepared for everything. The whole tour (just like last year) was arranged with precision and plenty of communication. We attended the West Country Tour this year and our lads had a great time! The accommodation and sire facilities were great, allowing for the parents to have fun too! The beach was great for training activities and there was plenty to do - the lads enjoyed a few hours at the theme park and we were able to get discounted tickets which was helpful. The festival was also well organised, good food facilities and hospitality too.
    Thank you for another great tour and we have already booked for next year! Thank you also for making arranging a tour so easy!

    Telford Hornets U14, West Country Challenge (April 2023)

    We have just returned from a Bank Holiday weekend away on rugby tour and it was a fantastic experience for the whole family! The quality of the accommodation and site was perfect, entertainment, a takeaway restaurant, a lovely park and pool and lots of open green space for the children to play. The tournament its self was very well organised and the boys had a fabulous time. We'll be buzzing for weeks and will definitely use Burleigh Travel again.

    Stroud RFC U12, The Big Devon Rugby Bash (May 2021)

  •  

    I am the manager at Taunton Typhoons Under 14s rugby team. The team at Burleigh Travel were very good right from the start. They understood our needs, made excellent recommendations and were easy to reach at all times. Our tour was very good with everything promised in place and ready for us. I highly recommend the team at Burleigh Travel and thank them for all their hard work on our behalf.

    Taunton RFC U14, Gallagher Premiership Weekend (March, 2022)

  •  

    From start to finish the Burleigh Travel team were fantastic in all elements of communication, organisation and coordination on behalf of our U15's Rugby Team who stayed at South Bay Holiday Park, Brixham and participated in the Big Devon Bash 2023. The accommodation was excellent and event ran smoothly on the day. It was great to also meet some of the Burleigh team who were very hands on the day of the tournament. Thanks to Ivybridge RFC for hosting. Would highly recommend the team for future tour bookings and believe a large number of our M&J section are considering for 2024. Great service, thank you again.
