New sightseeing pass opens doors to Rugby attractions

SIGHTSEERS can take in the World Rugby Hall of Fame, Rugby School and insights into the town’s history with the new Rugby Weekend Pass.

The pass offers holders entry to the World Rugby Hall of Fame, a tour of Rugby School, a tour of the historic town centre with a Rugby Town Guide and a visit to the Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum.

It also offers discounts at shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants in the town centre and the wider borough.

The pass was launched to celebrate English Tourism Week, VisitEngland’s annual campaign to highlight the country’s tourism sector, which generates more than £100billion a year to the economy.




The Rugby Weekend Pass costs £14 for adults, £12 concessions and £8.50 for children under 18. It remains valid for four consecutive days, either from Thursday to Sunday or Friday to Monday.

It can be booked online at www.therugbytown.co.uk/therugbypass and picked up at Rugby Visitor Centre for validation, or bought directly from the visitor centre.


Tours of the town centre led by the Rugby Town Guides are now up and running for the spring and summer season.

The free tours start at Rugby Visitor Centre at 11am on Saturdays, with no need to book a place in advance.

Tours also take place at 2pm every Wednesday, but places must be booked in advance by calling Rugby Visitor Centre on (01788) 533217.
