Newcastle Rugby Foundation is hosting a series of Beach Festivals across the region’s coastline this summer and after already impressing at Bamburgh, South Shields and soon to be Tynemouth, they have announced Seaburn as their final location.
Taking place on Wednesday August 20, the Foundation will be taking over the sandy stretch opposite the busy promenade at Seaburn from 2pm, and there are two key slots that the public can join for FREE:
4pm – 5.30pm – Open Girls Rugby Session
Girls aged 11–18 are invited to come along and try rugby in a relaxed, fun beach setting. No experience needed – just come ready to get stuck in and enjoy the game, with coaching from special guest coaches.
Sign up HERE.
5.30pm – 8pm – Beach Touch Rugby Festival
As the sun sets over Seaburn, take part in our mixed ability, age, and gender touch rugby festival. Whether you’re a seasoned player or trying it for the first time, this session is all about fun, community, and getting active together.
There will also be an opportunity to grab food and drinks at the after party/social taking place in a private area within STACK Seaburn, overlooking the beach.
Sign up HERE.
You can also expect:
- Free giveaways
- Live entertainment
- Face painters & balloon modellers
- Special guests
- Fun for all ages and abilities
This is a brilliant opportunity to try rugby in a welcoming environment, meet new people, and enjoy a summer evening by the sea – all as part of Newcastle Rugby Foundation’s role as Community Engagement Programme Partners for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025.
See you on the beach!
