Gloucester Rugby

Gloucester Rugby can consider itself to be a unique English rugby club.

Founded in 1873 and, with its Kingsholm Stadium home situated near the heart of the city, the club enjoys an enviably close relationship with its supporters. Gloucester is a true rugby city, where people proudly walk the streets wearing the famous Cherry and White hoops.

Gloucester has played all of its rugby in the top flight of English club rugby and a recent heritage grant has allowed the club to showcase their rich history along the walls of the stadium.

Gloucester Rugby plays its home fixtures at Kingsholm, a stone's throw away from the city centre.
A new feature at Kingsholm this season is that two new LED Video Screens have been installed to Kingsholm for season 2011/12. The main purpose for the screen is to show live footage and action replays from the game in progress but will also be used to show highlights from previous games, interviews with players and coaches and of course, to display the match score.

Although Kingsholm is a magnificent rugby venue, capable of holding over 16,000 supporters and a regular venue for representative rugby, it offers much more besides.

The recent redevelopment of the South Stand incorporated fully catered banqueting and conference facilities. The new facility is one of the most impressive venues in the Cotswolds and South West.

We cater for social events such as work parties, end of year balls and even weddings, as we have a civil wedding licence. As well as being the home of Gloucester Rugby, Kingsholm is a unique conference venue.
