Twickenham Stadium might be known as the official home of England rugby, and if you’re a rugby fan, your memories at the stadium might just consist of seeing your fave players in the flesh or your team beating its rivals. But believe it or not, it has so much more to offer. From the World Rugby Museum full of thought-provoking memorabilia to stadium tours for behind-the-scenes insight into what goes on pre-match. 

Twickenham is the largest dedicated rugby stadium in the world with a lot of history under its belt, 112 years of it to be exact. This tour will give you insight into the story behind the venue. You’ll be allowed a visit to the England Dressing Room, so you can see how the likes of Marcus Smith and Maro Itoje prepare for a game down to their actual routines and prep, and also be treated to a tour of the pitch, the infamous Royal Box. There's even the chance to snap photos in the Players’ Tunnel too.

Home for everything and anything surrounding rugby, The World Rugby Museum tells the story of rugby from around the globe, following the game's history and early beginnings all the way through to the present day. Here, you’ll find plenty of rugby memorabilia; over 41,000 recorded objects, 16,500 pieces of archival material and 11,300 photos. In summary: a lot of stuff. Dive into the museum’s Play Rugby Interactive Zone where you can find out if you’re a Jonny Wilkinson or a Joe Marler and test your kicking, agility, speed and more.

“Twickenham”

A celebration of the early pioneers of women’s rugby, this exhibition looks at the women who are renowned for organising the very first women’s Rugby World Cup back in 91’. It will feature the authentic words and voices of those who have organised and played in the seven tournaments so far. Wondering which artefacts will be on display? Well, the exhibition includes star objects like the original Rugby World Cup trophy, which was missing for 16 years but has finally returned home for you to gaze upon it.
