Vets Fest is a rugby tournament for over 35s who want to play in a community of like-minded people while raising money and awareness for Wooden Spoon, the children’s charity of rugby. In 2025, we introduced two new categories:
- Over 50s (Vintage Vets)
- Walking Rugby
Born in 2020, Vets Fest is more than just a rugby event—it’s a movement dedicated to raising funds for children and young people with disabilities or facing disadvantage. Over the years, we’ve grown in size and spirit, with Friday night parties, fancy dress, rugby, camping and more!
