Rugby clubs throughout Surrey, Richmond and Windsor are kicking up the ante during the World Cup, with sports festivals, free training sessions, and more - here's a selection for casual fans and fanatics alike
The Festival of Rugby 2015 is an initiative developed by England Rugby and the RFU, to capitalise on the Rugby World Cup's arrival at Twickenham. It's a great umbrella for all the rugby events taking place in Britain until October 31, whether major festivals or grassroots tournies – if you're running a rugby event, it's a great place to get support and publicity.
Not all of the following events are registered on the Festival website, but they're all open to the public - if you're a reader with an appetite for rugby, there's something here for you. Check the numbers below to find your nearest event!
