Knives and forks at the ready! Rugby’s first food and drink website will soon be live. Taste Rugby celebrates our town’s food and drink offer and will serve up the latest news, events, offers and reviews. It will also include a comprehensive listing of venues and be the first place where we launch exciting campaigns like Rugby Restaurant Week and the Real Ale Trail.
The callout for artists to take part in this year’s Rugby Festival of Culture has gone out. Rugby First together with Rugby Borough Council, local venues and performers, are now planning the tenth anniversary programme. Businesses who would like to host an event are welcome to complete the online form from Rugby First’s website before the closing date of Friday 28 February.
Rugby First is delighted to unveil latest weapon in tackling the fight against dirt and grime in the town centre. We have taken delivery of The Glutton® which is the world’s most advanced urban electric vacuum as part of our continued commitment to keeping Rugby town centre clean and welcoming.
The Glutton will enable us to provide extensive deep cleaning in problem or hard to reach areas, like pavement cracks, gutters and underneath street furniture. The electric cart can work for up to nine hours before it needs to be re-charged, it has a large container to collect litter, a long extendable nozzle to reach into cracks and there are no carbon emissions.
Bikefest will return to Rugby on Sunday 17 May and for the first time will include the Wall of Death attraction.
There is fun for the whole family, stalls, live music, food and drink and children’s entertainment in this popular day out, which last year attracted over 6,000 people into town to see the bikes and join in the fun.
This year we will be working closely with motorcycle groups to put on a great event and if you don’t normally open up on a Sunday we can recommend that it will be worth your while!
