Ladies Day2026
A sit down lunch for the women around the club, two Cantabs sides at home, and an evening in the clubhouse with the bar open. Last year's Ladies Day raised over £1,500 for the club.
Ladies Day 2026 has been and gone. Thank you to everyone who came, cooked, poured, played and gave.
Bookings close Sunday 27 September. The lunch is catered to the numbers booked.
Lunch, then rugby
Ladies Day is aimed at the women around the club: partners, mums, sisters, daughters, team mates and friends. Whether you have been coming to Sedley Taylor Road for years or have never set foot in a rugby club, you will be looked after. Arrive from 12:30, lunch is served at 1pm, and both games kick off at 3pm.
A roast dinner and a drink of your choice: white, rosé or red wine, prosecco, or a non-alcoholic option. Paid in advance, with the payment details inside the booking form. Bookings close on Sunday 27 September.
Book through the club's form. Each guest fills in her own, so the kitchen has the right numbers and everyone gets the main course and the drink she chose.
Bring the whole family. It is a rugby club on a Saturday, and everyone is looked after.
Ladies Day is an excuse to make an afternoon of it. There is no dress code, and nobody will mind either way.
Ladies Day 2026 took place on Saturday 3 October, with the Ladies Lunch at 1pm followed by two home games at 3pm, the 1st XV against Southwold and the 2nd XV against Fenland Barbarians. The next club event will appear on the events page when it is announced.
See what else is onA traditional roast dinner
A traditional roast, served at the clubhouse. You choose your main course and your drink when you book. Allergens are listed against every dish.
Please tell the club about any allergy or dietary requirement on the booking form, before the day. Every care is taken in preparing the food, but all dishes are prepared in a kitchen where allergens are present, so cross contamination may occur. The fourteen UK regulated allergens are celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, nuts, peanuts, sesame, soya, and sulphur dioxide or sulphites.
Rugby on the day
Ladies Day has two Cantabs sides at home, both kicking off at 3pm once lunch is done. Both are free to watch, no ticket needed, and both squads will warm up in limited edition sponsored tops made for the day.
Both games kick off at 3pm, so you can take your pick or wander between the two. For the rest of the season, see the fixtures page.
The evening
When the rugby finishes the clubhouse stays open. No ticket, no entry fee, everyone welcome, whether you were at the lunch or have just walked in.
The bar takes card, so you can simply order and pay.
A playlist through the evening, with karaoke for anyone brave enough to take the mic.
Food is part of the lunch only. If you are coming for the evening, eat first.
Players, families, supporters, neighbours, and anyone who fancies seeing what the club is like on a Saturday night.
Sedley Taylor Road
The club is at 23 Sedley Taylor Road, off Long Road, Cambridge CB2 8PW. Full directions, the map, and the bus and train details are on the find us page.
With two home games and the lunch, the ground will be busier than a normal Saturday. Other forms of transport are advised.
The ground sits on the Cambridge to London line, a short ride or walk from the station, which is the easier option if you are having a drink with lunch.
Back Ladies Day
Ladies Day raises money for the club, and local businesses make that possible.
Your name on the day itself, in front of the lunch, both home crowds and the evening. £300 + VAT.
