We’re delighted to be returning to Butlin’s award winning resort on the South Coast in 2027 to stage the Tigers Challenge. Butlin’s resort is booked exclusively for the festival, meaning around 175 mini and junior rugby teams from all over the UK and further afield will be taking part in the event.
The Tigers Challenge combines a professionally organised rugby festival for U7 – U12 teams and U12 & U14 girls teams, with superb touring facilities and accommodation options at Butlin’s resort in Bognor Regis. Join us on tour and make 2027 a year to remember for your players, coaches and supporters!
Our spectacular presentations have an electric atmosphere and are the perfect way to close the festival.
Following an incredible laser light show in a huge arena, each team is invited onto the big stage to meet our VIP Celebrity guest, where every player will receive a custom Tigers Challenge medal and all teams will receive a custom Tigers Challenge trophy!
To cap off the weekend in style, we invite VIP special guests to join us at the Tigers Challenge to present the medals and trophies to all the players and coaches!
Martin Johnson, Lewis Moody, Will Greenwood, Geordan Murphy, Neil Back, Matt Tait, Louis Deacon, Tom Croft, George Ford, Scott Hamilton, Jeremy Staunton, George Chuter, Freddie Tuilagi and many more have all joined us at the Tigers Challenge!
What a incredible end to your team’s touring experience!
To celebrate their efforts and achievements over the weekend, all players and coaches receive a custom designed Tigers Challenge medal from our special guests, as a memento of the festival.
In addition, every team is presented with a quality Tigers Challenge trophy to take home, plus some of the finest awards you’ll ever see are awarded to the Champions & Runners Up in competitive age groups, as well as prestigious individual Magic Moment awards in each age section.
