Travelling to Rugby?

Located just south of Coventry in Warwickshire, Rugby boasts a rich cultural heritage. None is more famous than the invention of the sport of rugby in 1823 by William Webb Ellis.

The story goes that Ellis, a student at Rugby School, disregarded the rules of a football match and picked up the ball, running with it towards the opposition's goal. This led to the creation of a new code of football that eventually evolved into the sport of rugby.

Beyond the sport, the town's historic charm is there to see in its well-preserved architecture. The town also features a thriving arts scene with the Rugby Theatre and various local galleries.

Rugby train station is located in the town centre, making it a short walk to the high street. It’s a year-round destination that offers something for everyone, depending on your interests.

For example, many people like to plan their visit around a rugby match. Because of this, it’s important for such people to be aware that the season takes place from September to May.
