Rugby First

That’s a wrap for us at Rugby First ❤️

As we come to the end of the BID, we just want to say a huge thank you to all the amazing businesses we’ve had the privilege to work alongside over the years. Your energy, resilience and community spirit have made Rugby town centre what it is today.

We’re proud to have supported businesses across our town and the wider Warwickshire area – and even prouder of everything we’ve achieved together.

Thank you for being part of the journey. Wishing you all continued success for the future.

With love,

Rugby First.

A couple of great events coming up in Rugby this April 🚲

Spring Fever is a free, family-friendly Easter trail packed with prizes, whimsy, woolly characters, lost eggs, and more than a whiff of romantic intrigue.

Running from 28th March to 11th April 2026, Spring Fever invites families, shoppers, and the simply curious to follow the trail of the ever-popular Mr March Hare as he dashes around Rugby on the most important mission of his life. You see, the Easter Rabbit has been away all winter, keeping warm somewhere considerably sunnier than Warwickshire, and she left her devoted boyfriend, the March Hare, in charge of her precious collection of prize magic eggs.

He was doing so well. And then...he lost them.
