Rugby 4 Heroes Charity

Rugby for Heroes works with the rugby community to raise funds and awareness for military personnel who are making the transition to civilian life. And they are committed to providing financial and personal support, to help individuals overcome the many challenges that this transition presents.

There are some obvious parallels that can be drawn between the UK’s Armed Forces and the sport of rugby – the traditions and core values of: leadership, teamwork, commitment, discipline, courage, respect, loyalty and camaraderie are all values in which the sport of rugby and the military unite behind and aspire to, and it is these values that RUGBY FOR HEROES champions.

Burleigh Travel are proud to be associated with such a valuable charity and for every person that travels with us to this event, a donation will be made.

The Festival

Sunday 29th March 2026

On Sunday 29th March, you will get to take part in the Rugby 4 Heroes Festival (U7-U12), which this season will be held on site in the magnificent grounds of the PGL estate.

The Festival will run in accordance with the RFU age grade regulations which will ensure all teams play as much rugby as is permitted for your age group.

Spirit of Rugby awards will be presented for U7 through to U11, whilst Winner and Runner Up trophies will be up for grabs for the U12 age group.

And there's more...

Key Booking Points

When considering who to book your tour with, always ask for evidence of the following key points.

Financial Protection

Burleigh Travel has always had consumer protection in place to make good any money paid to us in the event of the financial collapse or failure of an airline, hotel or any other provider and this pledge has been honoured since the foundation of Burleigh Travel in 1998, and no client has suffered financial loss from such a failure. How this is done is clearly displayed on our website so it is very important that you can see a clear statement on any other operators website on how they are protecting your money.

How Long Has The Company Been Trading?

An important consideration when deciding on who to book with, is how established the company is. Burleigh Travel was established in 1998 and have therefore been arranging rugby tours for almost 30 years and as such we are one of the longest standing providers and market leaders for mini and junior rugby tours. Don’t be fooled by new companies claiming they have many years experience in arranging tours; check when they were actually established, as every year there are several new companies set up and then disappear or offer sub-standard events so always check out their background and the customer feedback of their products.

A very quick way to check whether the company you are planning to book with are well-established, is to check on the Companies House website where you can search for the company by name. In the Overview section, you can then check when they were established, if they have any overdue accounts warnings or strike off actions against them, and also the termination of appointments.

3. Customer Trustpilot & Google Reviews

We pride ourselves on the excellent feedback we have received from previous clubs like yourselves and currently have over 250 five star Trustpilot reviews which can be found here and over 130 five star Google reviews here. We feel these clubs are very reflective of your own group and consequently should help install confidence in the service you will receive from Burleigh Travel.

We would urge you to be very cautious of booking with anyone who does not have a similar amount of recent five-star reviews on these two key sites or if they do not even have a Trustpilot or Google review site registered.

4. RFU Approval

Last season all our UK Festivals were approved by the RFU and have been fully risk assessed, this is not the case with many other rugby festivals so please check with the county where the event is being held to see if permission was granted last season and if it’s likely to be granted again before making a booking.

Creating Memories

Burleigh Travel are very proud of the tours we have provided for more than 30 years. We have heard so many stories over the years of team building, new friendships developing and life long memories being made.

Many players, coaches and parents have missed out on the touring experience in recent times, but we hope you choose to join us at the Rugby For Heroes Festival to create these memories for your team!

Don't just take our word for it...

Old Cranleighans had a great weekend. Thanks for looking after us. This is our sixth tour in a row with Burleigh Travel, and we have always had a great time and we are very much looking forward to working with them again for 2025.

Dear Chris

thanks for your email. We did have a very good weekend. The staff at the accommodation should be particularly called out. They were very welcoming, and helpful from the outset. Their positive and can-do mentality shone through - from the bar staff, the kitchen and activity leads.

It was good to meet Ryan, Carolyn and team and we do appreciate the efforts they put in. We do wish you all the best in rebuilding the business as we return to normality.

Our u7 to u12 teams embarked on their annual Tour last weekend, going to PGL Liddington for the Rugby For Heroes Festival organised by Burleigh Travel Sports Tours. The children (and parents) all had a fantastic time, enjoying the great facilities and activities put on for them to take part in, from Aeroball through to a Sensory Trail, Giant Swing and Vertical Challenge.

It was great to see the children working together, facing their fears and really encouraging each other when it was needed most.

The weekend was topped off by a ‘Disco’ themed evening on the Saturday and a rather blustery tournament on the Sunday.
