Bournemouth Sevens - 31st May / 1st June 2008
Think Dubai sevens. Think Isle of Wight festival. Think Cartier Polo…
Now imagine the best bits of all those events combined into one weekend of sport, music, food, celebrities, drink and partying - that’s exactly what’s on offer at the Bournemouth Sevens 2008!
Roger Woodall, director of Diamond Sports Events, is turning this dream into reality by creating a rugby festival on a par with world tournaments such as Dubai, Hong Kong and Amsterdam.
This unique 2-day event will take place annually in the party capital of England, with two separate rugby sevens competitions, live music on the festival stage, family entertainment, fancy dress, a funfair and special guests from the world of International rugby, such as Lewis Moody, Austin Healey and many more.
The renowned band ZU2, the U2 tribute band on stage at this year’s Dubai Sevens, will be performing live along with a host of other bands and DJ’s, and with camping facilities for 3,000 people; it will certainly be a weekend to remember.
In addition to a corporate hospitality marquee, there will be huge beer tents, a pitch-side Jacuzzi, cheerleaders and a fun fair offering entertainment for all the family.
The event will encourage more and more people to get involved in rugby, and will feature a road-show from the RFU, the sport’s governing body. Children will be able to get involved in the rugby clinics learning the basic skills of the game with experts on hand to nurture the international stars of the future.
The picturesque Bournemouth Sports Club will be descended upon by 10,000 people, with several universities organising reunions at the event, as well as sports clubs up and down the country arranging end of season tours to coincide with the festival.
