Case Study: Gloucestershire Rugby Tour Delivered

March 21, 2025

The county is undeniably a rugby hotbed, with the jewel in the crown without doubt Gloucester RFC, who’s Kingsholm ground and particularly ‘The Shed’ is the stuff of legend.  Here at Fox Sport’s Travel we originate from Gloucester so are naturally biased, but are also very well placed to deliver the very best tours into the county.

Whilst Gloucester may hog the limelight, the local rugby scene is vibrant, with 14 clubs within the city alone.  County wide the picture is just as bright, with Cheltenham, Stroud and the Forest of Dean all boasting multiple clubs and that is before you venture towards Bristol.

We have been instrumental in bringing clubs from all over the country into Gloucestershire, including Men’s Veterans, Senior Men’s and Ladies, junior and minis, schools, clubs and universities.  The offering is varied, from one off fixtures to festivals, multiple matches and round robins, often incorporating a trip to Kingsholm to take in a Gloucester match. 

The county boasts a lively nightlife.  Gloucester offers The Quays – situated in the docklands and offering a variety of bars and restaurants.  Cheltenham Spa is a different proposition with a range of high end eateries and drinking establishments, mixed in with some traditional ale houses.  The rest of the county isn’t to be missed either and everywhere you go you are guaranteed to receive some real West Country hospitality.  We can help with reservations in bars and restaurants and for younger groups can make sure your ten pin bowling, trampolining, laser tag, go karting and cinema experiences are all in place.

Whatever your rugby requirements we are well connected and able to match make accordingly, so whether you are veterans at the end of your rugby playing journey or a minis age group just starting out, we can find a fixture to suit you.  Every tour is different and we aim to make yours a memorable one – get in touch and let us start building your trip to Gloucestershire today!
