As ever, our festival this year will offer a choice of exciting rugby matches. Kicking off with the annual McCue Cup - a celebratory rugby match between REME Training Battalion and a RWBRFC President’s XV. Then our RWBRFC 1st XV will face Chippenham RFC in round 2 of the Papa Johns Cup Community Cup. Top rugby action from start to finish.

MUSIC!
Live music is always a popular element of our Festivals and this year we are excited to welcome Swindon's romantic punk band indie band Here Come The Crows, followed by the dynamic, high energy four piece Mojo and then Groove Club Collective finishing the evening with some classic funk. So be prepared for some awesome singalong music throughout the day!
FAMILY FUN
George Scarrott and Son’s Family Fun Fair will provide entertainment for the younger ones and there will be a range of vendors and stalls to browse around the field courtesy of Royal Wootton Bassett's Carnival. Our friends from R.E.M.E will be on hand with a fun army assault course and other attractions.
Our friends from Ride of Respect will again support the Sausage & Cider Festival. The mass ride by motorcyclists through Royal Wootton Bassett will pay tribute to our service personnel and their families, arriving at RWBRFC to make a procession around the perimeter of the first team pitch prior to kick-off of the McCue Cup match.
