Tournament weekend
Stay up to date
Along with our partners in the city, we organised events, family activities and cultural opportunities to coincide with the matches taking place in Brighton & Hove.
Fanzone
The official Rugby World Cup 2015 Fanzone was located on Brighton beach, east of the Brighton Pier, during the first weekend of the Tournament when matches were played in the city. With a capacity of 10,000, the Fanzone offered the chance to enjoy refreshments and soak up the Tournament atmosphere with friends, family and fellow fans. The Fanzone featured activities from Rugby World Cup 2015 sponsors and a big screen showing all the matches played during the first weekend of the Tournament. The Fanzone was free to enter and opened from Friday evening to Sunday.
The Fanzone was perfectly placed to take in the cultural elements of the Tournament weekend celebrations which took place on Madeira Drive, including the Costume Games.
Festival of Rugby
The Festival of Rugby provides clubs, schools, community groups, organisers of sporting events and the wider nation with the opportunity to take part in the celebration of Rugby in 2015. The Festival of Rugby covers any event with a rugby theme or element hosted between 10 June and 31 October. Events must be registered at the Festival of Rugby website, where more information and resources for participants is available.
