Save the date!

It's back - and bigger than ever - we're talking about the brilliant North Herts Rugby and Netball Festival with organisers revealing when it will return in the summer of next year.

The event returns to bring the best of the rugby and netball world together with the Hitchin community to celebrate sport, music and good food. 

Last summer Hitchin rugby club hosted 16 men's teams, 14 netball teams and 13 ladies rugby teams on the Saturday - with more than 500 people playing sport throughout the course of the day.

Organisers told Nub News: "As we draw to the end of 2022, we are delighted to confirm that the North Herts Rugby and Netball festival will return in 2023, taking place on Friday, August 11 and Saturday, August 12. It's never too early to get a date in the diary.

"We look forward to confirming more details in the coming weeks and months and we will be reaching out to you individually as we would love to have you all on board for next year's adventure."

In the meantime, save the date and make sure you save Saturday, August 11 and Sunday, August 12 are in your diaries (virtual or physical or both) and make sure you follow them on Instagram
