Weston Beach Rugby Fest is taking place at Weston-super-Mare, from Friday 7th until Sunday 9th August 2026. Remember to bring along your fancy dress for the Beach Party, where we encourage you to all dress accordingly! Teams from across the UK will be joining us for a mixture of sunshine, sand, music and tag rugby. Whether you are an expert tag rugby player or just want a weekend of fun, there will be options for everyone with Men’s, Women’s, Mixed & Family sections. Squads with a maximum of 10 (5 aside with rolling subs).
Beach Netball will also be part of the festival for the 4th year, with squads of up to 7 and 5 aside games, for both Ladies & Mixed Teams.
Tag rugby and beach netball games will take place across both Saturday and Sunday.
The Beach Rugby Fest brand was hugely successful last year, with events in Weston-super-Mare, Exmouth and Weymouth.
The chosen charity is The Royal Marines Charity.
