Rugfest 2010

Rugfest, the beer and music festival organised by Wallingford Rugby Club, is back with an extended programme on Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd July 2010. After the success of last year's inaugural event, which attracted 2,000 people, this year's event hopes to attract even greater numbers with the addition of the Friday evening programme.

Held at Hithercroft Sports Park in Wallingford as a fund raising event for Wallingford Rugby Club, the event is oriented to families with music and entertainment for all across the two sessions.

Saturday's programme will cater for the whole family with local bands including Unusual Suspects, Quadrophobe, Spring Offensive, Very Nice Harry, Oldplay, Violet Behaviour, and headliners Tim Ten Yen and Big Mac's Wholly Soul Band.
