Match-day Tournaments
The Saints has led the way in English rugby with the quality of our match-day experience. This year we have enhanced this by organising tournaments for all ages from under-7 through to under-16 that will be held before a Saints home game. Our usual tournaments have been supplemented by the inaugural Land Rover Premiership Cup, which has its inaugural festival at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday, November 22nd.
These tournaments have another purpose - the Saints Academy coaches will be watching and the best talent from under-13 upwards may be invited back to train with one of Saints' Elite Player Development Groups.

Heart Village
The Franklin's Gardens Match-day Village is legendary within rugby and is much imitated across the English game. Ours is the original and still the best! Sponsored by Heart the Village hosts plenty of entertainment before the big matches kick off. There's face painting, a tuck shop and bouncy castles for the kids and a large bar for the adults. There are also plenty of food and drink outlets, including Sauls famous hot pork rolls - mmmm!
