Rugby First is planning to serve up the first ever ‘Spring Rugby Food and Drink Festival’ on Saturday 15 April, in Rugby town centre. The new event will take place in and around Regent Street and Regents Place, between 11am and 5pm. The free to enter event follows on from the very successful festival in September which attracted thousands of visitors and will include stalls and family entertainment.
Linda Lowne, Rugby First Business and Stakeholder Manager said: “This is a new event for Rugby First and we are really excited to be working on it. Feedback from the September event from businesses and visitors was extremely positive, with many asking for a second food and drink festival. We have listened and are looking forward to delivering it – although it will be slightly different to the September event! Once again though we are hoping it will have a significant impact on the town centre, bringing increased footfall and revenue into the town centre economy, as well as attracting new visitors.”
Linda continued: “If you are interested in having a stall at the event or are a local business interested in sponsoring the festival or an element of it please get in touch via the website below.”
