How to Sponsor Rugfest

Rugfest is quickly becoming a fixture on the Wallingford Calendar in a town already renowned for its great music events such as the Bunkfest and the Blues and Beers nights. In its inaugural year the event drew in over 2000 people and this year with extensive advertising and broader appeal is set for many, many more. The Festival we would hope you agree therefore represents a great opportunity for you to advertise and raise awareness of your business to a very broad audience indeed.

To find out how to get involved or become a sponsor please contact the Rugfest committee.

 

Entertainment

The festival is divided across two days with an eclectic but brilliant collection of musicians taking you through Friday into a truly mixed and vibrant festival Saturday. Friday night we are delighted to have music ranging from ambient to a fully-loaded jumpin' rhythm and boogie revue but all with a similar theme of incredibly talented musicians/ singer songwriters sharing their significant talents with our festival crowd.

Saturday’s afternoon session will be largely family focused, with great music from a variety of local sources - Youth bands, and great local indie, rock and ska, songs of love, heartbreak and musical superhero badgers will keep the crowd on their feet. To check out the band line up click here

 

Camping at Rugfest

This Year we have added a campsite…….. because sometimes you just need to lie down !!

The Campsite will be open from Friday the 24th June at 11am until 12 noon on the Sunday 26th June.

Campers will need to park in our main car park or our overflow car park, but will be able to take cars to tent pitches. 

This will be for unloading only so as not to restrict space. Campers will not be able to use cars after 4pm on Friday or after 10.30am on the Saturday for safety reasons. After these times wheelbarrows will be provided to transport camping equipment, if needed.
