Welcome to the 39th St Joseph’s College National Schools Rugby Festival & VIP Experience
About this Event

Be part of the legacy!

We invite you to join us for one of the UK’s most prestigious school rugby events - a festival that truly represents the pinnacle of school rugby. With over 5000 spectators expected, the Festival brings together top rugby schools from across the UK in a celebration of talent, teamwork and sporting spirit.

From thrilling matches on both Pitch 1 & 2, to a wide variety of food outlets, family-friendly zones, VIP experiences and great entertainment, there is something for everyone.

Friday will kick off our U15s Tournament, alongside our OB Netball & Rugby matches, celebrating the legacy and community of St Jo's.

Saturday and Sunday feature our elite U18s Rugby Festival, bringing together teams from across the UK for a weekend of exciting competition and sportsmanship.

This year, we strongly advise all spectators to pre-book tickets to guarantee entry and avoid delays on the day.

General Admission is £1.20 per person, per day.

General Admission (on the day) is £2 per person, per day (card only).

VIP Admission is £114 per person, per day (complimentary parking).

Priority Parking (valid from 8-11am) is £12 per car, for one day or £18 per car, for both days.

Parking on the day will be £15 per car, per day (card only).

Parking for Friday ONLY is on-site and limited. We prioritise official team travel.

All prices are inclusive of VAT.

IMPORTANT: We kindly ask all visitors not to park on surrounding residential streets from Friday through to Sunday to ensure we maintain positive relationships with our neighbours.

Car sharing is encouraged and pre-booked parking will be prioritised.

Children in VIP - Please note that while the Rugby Festival is a family-friendly event, the VIP marquee will include a licensed bar serving alcohol as well as a hot food counter. We therefore have a duty of care and responsibility for how the space is managed. Children must be accompanied and supervised at all times. Please see our FAQs for more information on children attending.

We look forward to welcoming you!
