British Festival & Queen’s Tea

Rugby’s British Festival has become an annual May event for Historic Rugby. This year it’s back to a week later than last, so May 10-11 (11th being Mothers Day, so bring yours). Look for vendors, food, tours of the historic buildings and more. Bring the family for a celebration in this British-founded 1880 village!
