What Events Does Bedford Blues RFC Promote on Its Website?

Updated

Bedford Blues RFC uses its homepage to promote a mix of matchday rugby, seasonal celebrations and private event bookings. The clearest current promotions are a Fireworks Display and Funfair in 2026, a Christmas Schedule, a Ladies Day 2026 raffle prize draw, and an open invitation to book the club for your own event. Because the homepage is updated continuously, treat these as the events highlighted at the time of your visit rather than a fixed annual calendar.

The events currently featured

Fireworks Display and Funfair 2026

This is listed as a standalone news item on the homepage, making it the most prominent non-rugby event promoted. The title tells you what to expect — a fireworks display paired with a funfair — and the "2026" label confirms it is a forward-dated event. The homepage does not publish ticket prices, times or venue details in the text available, so use the news item itself as the entry point for practical arrangements.

Christmas Schedule

A dedicated "Christmas Schedule" section appears in the homepage navigation. This typically covers the club's fixtures and opening arrangements across the festive period. If you are planning to attend a match or visit the club around Christmas, check this section rather than assuming standard matchday timings apply.

Ladies Day 2026 raffle prizes

The homepage carries a notice about "Unclaimed Ladies Day 2026 Raffle Prizes." This tells you two things: Ladies Day 2026 has already taken place, and prize winners have not all come forward. If you attended and held a raffle ticket, this is a prompt to check whether you are owed a prize.

Event booking at the club

Two homepage calls to action — "Secure your spot at GR" and "Book Your Event Today" — point to the club taking bookings for events. The site does not specify in the available text which spaces, dates or packages are offered, so the booking enquiry route is the way to get specifics.

Matchday content that functions as event promotion

Alongside the seasonal items, the homepage news feed promotes the club's rugby fixtures and results, including:

  • A report on Blues Women topping the table
  • A report on a maximum points haul at Nottingham
  • Team news for the Nottingham fixture
  • A notice that Blues Women are back on home soil on Sunday

For supporters, these updates double as event notices: they tell you when and where the teams are playing and give a reason to attend.

How to keep track of what's on

The homepage includes a mailing list sign-up ("Join our mailing list" / "Subscribe to the Blues Newsletter"), described as a way to receive the latest news, signings and match previews. If you want event announcements — fireworks, Christmas fixtures, Ladies Day — delivered to you rather than checking the site, this is the mechanism the club offers.

What the homepage does not tell you

The available page text does not include ticket prices, kick-off times, venue capacity or booking rates for any of these events. It also does not confirm whether event booking is free to enquire about or carries a deposit. For any of these details, follow the specific news item or the "Book Your Event Today" link rather than relying on the homepage summary.
