For over 10 years Burleigh Travel have been arranging for teams to travel to Bournemouth and participate in festivals that combine a great mix of local and touring teams, resulting in this being the largest and most established festival destination we offer, which provides rugby for age groups from U7 through to U13.
Tour Highlights…

Your accommodation will mainly consist of modern 4-berth rooms together with a number of twin rooms, all of which have en-suite facilities.
All Inclusive Daily Activities…
Each of the players will receive a number of exciting daily activities as part of their tour package, such as abseiling, archery, giant swing and zip-wire. These will be tailored around your rugby.
And Evening Activities…
We appreciate the difficulty in keeping your group entertained in the evenings so you will be delighted to know that your program for the weekend will also include an evening activity program each night for players which will be a great opportunity for team bonding and fun.
The activities include camp fires, capture the flag and sports night!
Meals…
Another key benefit of this option is that all your meals are included in your tour cost. So there are no headaches of trying to find large venues to accommodate your group.
Meals are freshly cooked, balanced and will give your group plenty of energy to keep them going throughout the day when playing rugby.
Alternative Accommodation…
Some groups prefer the comfort of a hotel and with our hotels centrally located near Bournemouth Town Centre, Beach and Pier, this may be the ideal choice for your group! Your group will have en-suite rooms, based on bed and breakfast and would have so many exciting opportunities right on your doorstep.
There is also the option of holiday park accommodation in the area. Please ask our sports tour coordinators for more information on this.
Visit Bournemouth Beach…
While there is plenty do to at your Accommodation another reason for touring to Bournemouth is to enjoy this wonderful beach location!
A day at the beach is a great way to enjoy some group time together without breaking the bank. Simply enjoy a light training session on the sand, compete in an inter club volley ball competition or see whose brave enough to swim in the sea!
Take on the Pier Zip…
For those groups seeking some more high octane adventure you can enjoy the The PierZip! The world’s first pier to shore zip wire, boasting a 250 metre dual zip wire. The dual zip line means you can ride with family or team mates and challenge them to race to the shore! Launching from the Zip Tower platform 25 metres above the sea, thrill-seekers race out and “zip surf” 250 meters over the top of the waves to land on the beach!
