The Big Devon Rugby Bash 2024

General Rugby Festival Information

Your accommodation will be at one of the Holiday Parks we use in South Devon or just over the border in Cornwall, and will provide an excellent base for like minded rugby people enjoying a fantastic rugby weekend over the popular May Bank Holiday weekend; allowing you to maximise your time on tour!

There is plenty to do to at the Holiday Park with onsite activities such as an adventure playground, crazy golf, kids’ club and swimming pool and this is all available to keep you entertained away from the rugby field and add to the weekend’s fun. 

After dark, enjoy an action packed onsite entertainment programme and enjoy a drink as the sun goes down.

Beach In Torquay

The surrounding area has plenty to explore as the holiday parks are located within a few miles of some of the UK’s best beaches such as Looe as well as picturesque coastal villages such as Polperro. Not to mention that the area is rated one of the highest for outstanding natural beauty.

The weekend’s rugby will provide your players with a fun and inclusive festival where they can test their rugby skills against new opposition in a festival format that provides the maximum amount of rugby for any one day in line with RFU guidelines.

This itinerary is appropriate for teams aged U7 – U15.

Burleigh Travel Highlights

Testimonials

  • Another fantastic tour. This was the second year Esher toured with Burleigh Travel and we have had another fantastic time. We played in North Cornwall and participated in the Big Devon Bash. The festival itself was well organised and all the boys enjoyed playing the other teams. We stayed at Trelawne Manor Holiday Park and had a great time. We enjoyed the entertainment and facilities and the accommodation was clean and modern. All our communications with Burleigh through were good and they coped well with our changes and additions. 

    Esher RFC U13 & U14, Big Devon Rugby Bash (April 2023)

     

    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.

    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.
