Coventry Rugby is inviting fans, families, and local clubs to come together for a day of celebration, sport, and community spirit on Saturday 15th November at Butts Park Arena. The Community Day event highlights the strength and unity of Coventry’s rugby family, showcasing everything that makes the sport – and the city – so special.
A Day Built on Community
Coventry Rugby’s roots run deep in the local community. From volunteers and supporters in the stands to players and grassroots clubs across the region, every individual contributes to the spirit of the game. The club’s Community Day is a chance to say thank you and to bring everyone together for a festival of rugby.
With no local fixtures below National 2 that weekend, the stage is perfectly set for a full day of rugby in the heart of Coventry. The event promises a blend of top-level action, family fun, and community pride.
What’s On
There’s something for everyone at this year’s Community Day!
Fans can enjoy a Family Fun Zone packed with inflatables, face painters, and activities for all ages – making it the perfect outing for families and young supporters.
Alongside the rugby action, there will be food stalls offering delicious gameday deals and bars serving drinks both inside and outside the stadium. Whether you’re there to watch, eat, or play, there’s entertainment for every age and every passion.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Coventry Rugby without some thrilling on-field action:
- Coventry Rugby vs Ampthill – Kick-off 13:00
- England vs New Zealand – Live on all screens, 15:10
- Academy U23 vs Ampthill U23 – Kick-off 17:30
Three games, one unforgettable day of rugby and community spirit.

More Than Just Rugby
Community Day is about more than just what happens on the pitch. It’s a celebration of the people, clubs, and organisations that make Coventry’s rugby scene thrive. The event will highlight the pathway from community rugby to the Coventry Rugby Academy and the First Team, showing how local talent can rise to the professional level right in the heart of the city.
As Coventry Rugby proudly states:
“Because club rugby matters.
Community matters.
And at Coventry Rugby, both are at the heart of who we are.”
