Why go

This central ground shows a living side of Bath beyond its spa and Georgian monuments. A rugby fixture changes the character of the place, while the wider site also supports public recreation. The stadium, pitches and surrounding grounds have different access arrangements, so the reason to come depends on the day’s activity.

What to look for

  • Bath Rugby plays home fixtures at the Rec.
  • The ground sits beside the River Avon in central Bath.

Useful to know

  • Check the event calendar and the access rules for the part of the ground you intend to use.
  • If you are nearby for the riverside, treat any rugby match as a separate ticketed visit.
