Exmouth Beach Rugby Fest enters its 5th year! Last year, the event was an incredible showpiece of sand, sun, music, rugby and netball. Our next event will take place from Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th May 2026. Registration will take place at our Launch Party on the Friday night at the incredible Beach Pub.
Locals and teams from across the UK will again be joining us for a bank holiday of fun. If you are a keen tag rugby player or you just want a weekend of fun, there are men’s, women’s, mixed/families team options. Squads with a maximum of 10 (5 aside with rolling subs).
Back by popular demand, the weekend will also feature Beach Netball, with mixed and ladies teams, with squads of up to 7 and 5 aside.
Tag Rugby and Beach Netball games will be played across both the Saturday and Sunday.
Beach Rugby Festivals had a hugely successful 2025, with three fantastic events in Exmouth, Weymouth and Weston-super-Mare.
The chosen charity for 2026 is The Royal Marines Charity.
