Junior rugby festivals 2027: every Revel date and venue

The 2027 season in one page: six UK festival weekends from Easter to Whitsun, and three European partner festivals we organise the tour for.

Revel Rugby · Updated 2 September 2026 · 6 min read

Here is the 2027 season in order. The UK weekends are festivals we run ourselves; the European ones are partner festivals hosted by some of Europe's biggest clubs, where we organise the tour around them. Each festival page carries its live dates, venue, age groups, accommodation and from-price per person, and those are the numbers to trust if this page and the festival page ever disagree.

A note on dates: the competition days are listed first. The stay window is usually a night either side, because teams arrive the day before the rugby and most packages are three nights.

Picking between them

  • First festival for the section? Somerset or Devon. The biggest fields, the most familiar format.
  • North of Birmingham? Cheshire, or North Wales if you want to be in on year one.
  • The squad wants an adventure, not just rugby? Cheddar.
  • Rugby league? Whitsun.
  • Ready to go abroad? Hilversum for a mini and junior section; Ghent for Under 17 and up; Portugal for the sun.

Prices are per person and vary by festival and by the accommodation each family chooses. Every festival page shows a live from-price, and the cost guide explains what sits behind it.
