CREDITON RFC is hosting a walking rugby festival on Saturday, June 8. 

Walking rugby is a gentler form of the sport without tackling or contact and at a slower speed. 

Eight teams will take part on the day in a round-robin format. 

Registration will take place between 11am and 12pm, with the first game at 12.30pm. 

To book your space at the festival you can email [email protected]. 

Booking closes on May 17 and is being done on a first-come-first-served basis. 

Camping pitches are available but must be booked in advance. 

The walking rugby festival comes as part of Crediton RFC’s Super Saturday event, which will also feature a beer and cider festival from 12pm until late and a pitch-up-and-play touch rugby tournament from 12.30pm. 

Food will be available from 1pm to 6pm courtesy of Big Birds Baps. 

The Premiership Rugby final will also be shown on the big screen at the club.
