Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival 2008

The world's biggest rugby festival will be held for the first time in Scotland in 2008 with over 3000 visitors expecting to take part in the 17th Air New Zealand Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival being staged in Edinburgh, 1 to 8 September.

Golden Oldies give you and your team the opportunity to visit the vibrant city of Edinburgh where the warmest of Scottish welcomes and hospitality awaits you. You're guaranteed that with so many like-minded rugby people together in one place the Scots will turn it into a week-long celebration that you will not forget.

This event is perfectly timed as it takes place directly after the Edinburgh Festival so why not come to Edinburgh a bit earlier so you can experience the world renowned festival extravaganza this city hosts year after year.

This section of the site will give details on the weeks' activities, the venues you will be playing and partying at, information on the teams you will be up against in the tournament as well as how to register and a chance to sign up for e-newsletters so we can keep you up to date on any developments with the world rugby festival.
