“We’re thrilled to be launching the South Coast Rugby Festival in partnership with PGL,” said a spokesperson for Burleigh Travel. “The combination of competitive rugby, outstanding facilities, and exciting activities makes this a truly memorable touring experience for young players, their coaches, and families.”

Taking place during the Easter school holidays from Friday 10th – Sunday 12th April 2026, the festival is set against the stunning backdrop of Dorset, with rugby fixtures hosted at Oakmeadians RFC and Swanage & Wareham RFC and accommodation and activities at the prestigious PGL Osmington Bay Centre.

Players and families will enjoy:

• Modern en-suite accommodation at Osmington Bay, with en suite 4-berth and twin rooms
• Full board catering with fresh, balanced meals and dietary options covered
• A wide range of adventure activities including climbing, abseiling, zip wire, giant swing, rifle shooting, and trapeze, all led by qualified PGL instructors
• Evening team-building programmes such as campfires, capture the flag, and a PGL sports night
• Live entertainment on Saturday night featuring The Sound, creating a real “on tour” atmosphere for players and families alike

On the pitch, the festival will run in line with RFU Age Grade Rugby regulations, with fixtures for U7–U13 teams. Every player will receive a participation medal, while Spirit of Rugby awards will celebrate teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship in the younger age groups.
