Painswick RFC

Painswick RFC was originally formed in 1872, with the 2023-2024 season being our 151st Anniversary and the club is still going strong today. 

Located at Broadham Fields, south of Painswick Village, Painswick RFC offer qualified coaching at all levels and encourage our players to develop Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship.

Painswick RFC field Junior/Mini teams from Tots through to Colts, alongside a Senior team and the occasional Veteran’s team. The real strength of the club is the comradeship of those who play their rugby at Painswick RFC. We start building this team spirit at an early stage with our Mini/Junior section and this leads to many of these young players finding their way into the Painswick RFC senior side and some onto even higher achievements with other clubs and at international level.

The club’s facilities are good both on and off the field. The Club can cater for individual Rugby Games to Rugby Festivals, Business Conferences, Weddings, Children’s Birthday Parties, Outdoor Camping, County Darts Competitions etc. No event is too big or too small.  

On Saturdays when the Senior Team are playing at home, the kick-off is usually at 3pm (when BST is in force) or 2pm (when BST is not in force). The Club House, (full) Bar and Kitchen (for coffees, tea etc) will be open an hour or so before kick-off and will remain open until early/mid evening depending upon demand and/or if there is a subsequent private function being held.

On Sundays when the mini and junior section are training & playing, they normally start at 10am. Regardless of the time, the kitchen should be open for cups of coffee, tea and hot chocolate, bacon sandwiches, hot dogs, sweets etc. while the Bar would open at approximately 11am.
