INFORMATION

General Information

We are looking forward to welcoming you to this year’s Bury St Edmunds Minis festival. We are a Kids First Club and hope that this reflects in the ethos at the heart of our club.

Parking

Blue badge holders and one space per age group for Kit carriers will be given per club. Blue badges or permits will need to be shown on the main gate. All other vehicles are asked to park at either the Lorry Park IP33 2RW, or the Greene King Car Park (What3Words asteroid.pack.thumbnail), accessible from Cullum Road. This is a short walk from the club. Please Park respectfully – marshalls will be on hand to co-ordinate.

Dogs

We are a dog friendly site, however this day is very busy so we do ask for dogs to be on a lead, and all owners act responsibly, keeping dogs off grass pitches, and left at home where possible.

Food & Refreshments

Feeling peckish? We’ve got you covered!

BBQ: Our BBQ is next to the clubhouse - or simply follow the smoke (and the delicious smell!) and you’ll find us.

Bacon Rolls: Available from the kitchen hatch in the clubhouse, with roaming bacon roll sellers keeping you fuelled around the festival.

Drinks: For all your drinks, head to the Clubhouse Bar or the downstairs Trailer Bar - whether you’re after a refreshing drink, a cold one after the game, or something to keep you going throughout the day.

Sweet Treats & Snacks: Grab something sweet or stock up on snacks from the tuck shop under the BSE Gazebo.

Plenty of options to keep players, families and supporters fuelled throughout the day!

IPSWICH SCHOOL

MAIN SPONSOR

Proud to support grassroots rugby

Ipswich School is delighted to support the Bury St Edmunds Rugby Minis Festival and to play a part in a day that celebrates everything that is special about grassroots rugby.

From a first experience of competitive rugby to the friendships, teamwork and memories made along the way, Minis rugby provides a fantastic foundation for young players. We are proud to support an event that brings together players, coaches, volunteers and families from across the region.

Rugby has a long and proud tradition at Ipswich School. Our programme provides opportunities for pupils of all ages and abilities, from those discovering the game for the first time through to players competing at national level and progressing into professional academies and international age-group rugby.

While success on the pitch is celebrated, the values that come through rugby are equally important: teamwork, commitment, resilience and respect.

We hope every player taking part enjoys the experience, plays with a smile and leaves with some great memories.

Good luck to all the teams competing today, and thank you to everyone at Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club who has worked so hard to make the Festival possible.
