British Festival

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! Confirmed so far are Tom Melville leading Cricket lessons, Lark in the Morn dancers with their Maypole, and Carriage Rides around the village! More details and times will be posted here when available, along with ticket links.
