Join us this summer for the Crus Festival, a brilliant weekend celebrating grassroots rugby, community and fun for all ages. Set at the home of Crusaders Rugby Club in Little Melton, the festival brings together players, families, supporters and friends for two days of sport, entertainment and shared memories.
Expect great rugby on and off the pitch, a welcoming club atmosphere, and plenty to keep everyone entertained throughout the day.
