Happy Hour with Michael Lipman

Our Happy Hour will be on for the first hour from gates opening where you can get £1 off every pint. Returning to The Rec and joining the Swift Half for Happy Hour this week is ex-Bath captain Michael Lipman. If you see him around, please give him a warm welcome back to Bath! Michael will also join our half-time slot where he'll talk about his time at the club and the release of his new book Concussion.

Raffle in Joint aid of Ed Slater, the 4ED campaign and Bath Rugby Foundation

In July 2022, Gloucester Rugby player Ed Slater announced he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease at the young age of 34; the same disease as the likes of former British & Irish Lion Doddie Weir and Rugby League legend Rob Burrow.

The 4Ed campaign has been created to raise awareness and funds in support of Ed and his family as he battles the disease.

To support Ed’s cause, as well as raise funds for our own charity Bath Rugby Foundation which supports vulnerable children and young people across B&NES, we will be selling raffle tickets with some luxury prizes to be won.

Tickets are £2 each or three for £5 and will be sold pre and post-match in the Swift Half, around the fan village and dotted around the hospitality suite. The prizes will be:

An overnight stay for two at Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa
An invitation to the President's Lounge on a matchday
A Bath Rugby jersey signed by the whole team

The winning tickets will be drawn after the game with the winning numbers posted on our website and social channels.

Cotton 2022/23 jersey range now available!

We’re very happy to announce our cotton jerseys are now available! Get yours from our Argyle Street store today or from one of our pop-up stands in and around the ground on Saturday.

Post-match, some members of the orchestra will perform in their own band Magpie and continue the party.
