Social Events at Portsmouth Rugby Club – Join the Fun
Looking for a place to meet new people, have a laugh, and support rugby? Our social events are the perfect mix of sport, community, and good times. Whether you’re a player, a fan, or just curious, there’s something for everyone.
Why Our Social Events Matter
We run regular gatherings because rugby is about more than the 80‑minute match. It’s about the friendships built over a pint, the excitement of a charity fundraiser, and the shared pride of cheering on the team. People who attend our socials say they feel more connected to the club and the city. That sense of belonging keeps the club alive and helps new members settle in quickly.
Each event is designed to be welcoming. No need to be a rugby expert – just bring a friendly attitude. We host everything from family‑friendly barbecues on the club grounds to themed quiz nights in the lounge. Even our casual after‑match drinks have a relaxed vibe where you can chat with players and coaches.
What You Can Expect
When you show up, you’ll find a few easy steps: arrive, grab a drink, and join a group. Most events start with a brief welcome from a club member, then the floor is open for mingling. We often include games like darts, footy‑flick contests, or mini‑tournaments that keep the energy high.
Our calendar is posted on the website, so you’ll always know what's coming up. Highlights include:
- Monthly Family BBQ: Kids get a playground, adults enjoy grilled bites, and we run a short rugby skills demo for the little ones.
- Charity Quiz Night: Test your knowledge while raising money for local causes. Prizes range from club merch to free match tickets.
- Season Launch Party: Meet the new squad, enjoy live music, and get a sneak peek at the upcoming season’s plans.
- Alumni Reunion: Past players share stories, and fans get a chance to ask questions about the club’s history.
All events are open to members and non‑members alike, though members get a discount on food and drinks. If you’re new, just sign up at the front desk or pop an email to [email protected]. We’ll send you the latest invites and a quick guide on what to bring.
Ready to be part of the action off the pitch? Join our next social event and see why Portsmouth Rugby Club feels like a big family. We can’t wait to meet you!
Do women play rugby?
Women's rugby is a fast-growing sport that has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. Women's rugby teams are found in many countries, including the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Women's rugby follows the same general rules as men's rugby, with the main difference being that women's games are shorter and involve fewer players per team. Women of all ages and fitness levels can enjoy the game, and many women's teams offer social events and other activities that bring the players together.
