General Rugby Festival Information

You tour will be based at Croft Farm Waterpark in chalet accommodation located just outside Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, where rugby is very much part of the local tradition. Croft Farm’s unique onsite facilities include a log cabin clubhouse, with evening entertainment on selected weekends, and a water sports centre offering brilliant activities such as raft building, katakanuing & archery, so there will be plenty to keep the group entertained. Your tour could include an optional trip to watch a Gallagher Premiership match at either Rugby World Cup Venue Kingsholm in Gloucester or Sixways in Worcester.

Of course because it’s Halloween we can arrange for you to visit the renowned Frightmare at Over Farm, which is certainly not for the faint hearted!
