Food and Drink
From Ben Tupman, Hospitality Manager

At 1st XV home games, visitors to The Haberden can enjoy a great selection of food and drink.

Our BBQ is open and serving up delicious burgers, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs - supplied by St Eds Butchers - right by the action. For drinks, the Saxon Bar, located next to the 1st XV pitch, is ready to serve your favourite refreshments to keep you hydrated on match day. Upstairs, the main bar offers a range of options, while our Supporters Bar next to the new Atkins Dellow Sponsors Lounge features Flint Eye and Level Head on draught, as well as a variety of soft drinks.

With great food and drinks available, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while cheering on the team, to ensure you #makethemostofmatchday.

Match Day Programmes
This season, we are proud to be in partnership with Zeeon for your match day programmes. Following the lead of Coventry Rugby, Northampton Saints and St Helen's RL, our match day programme for the 2024 / 2025 season will be digital.

Each edition will contain everything you need to know for your match day and for the first time ever, we will be providing a programme for both Men's and Women's 1st XV fixtures. There will also be special editions for important fixtures across the club, including the National Colts Cup games.

Learning from your feedback, the link to the match day programme will be shared across all channels in advance of the game. Each programme link will be shared with the team sheets, as a stand alone website / social media article and via Pitchero. You will also be able to access the programme through some QR codes at the ground.

Throughout the season, you will be able to access all match day programmes via our Zeeon homepage, here.

There is no cost to our spectators for any edition. Enjoy!

Hospitality
This season, we have streamlined, improved and further enhanced our hospitality offerings to create what we believe are the best hospitality offerings in the National Leagues. Hospitality
is available at all Men’s 1st XV home fixtures.

We welcome a new Hospitality Manager, Ben, and a new Chef, George. Both of whom are extremely experienced and are ready to ensure that your Avant Haberden Match Day Hospitality is better than ever.

Once again, we are proud and delighted to welcome back Beanstalk Media as our Official Media Partner.

Max and Boo will once again be providing imagery, videography, interviews and more from match days across the club and sections.

As usual, you will be able to find the photos through the club channels and soon enough, we hope to have a dedicated club photography site in situ.

This season, photography will once again be FREE TO DOWNLOAD, with thanks to the support of Photography Sponsors, Fairfield Money Ltd and James Bailey Planning Ltd.

We are looking for 3 more sponsors to ensure that this remains the case and any business or individual interested can contact Commercial Manager, Will Affleck to find out more.

Weekend Preview
Each Friday, you will be able to read a preview of the weekend ahead across the whole club. The preview will cover everything you need to know for your weekend at The Haberden.

These articles will be brought to you by our new club Media Officer, Charlie Woodbridge, who joins us from Lincoln University.

Stay tuned to our social media across the season, for the latest team sheets ahead of every match, where you’ll see who’s wearing the shirt and get a glimpse of our Player Sponsors in action.

Match Day Charity Partners
Over the course of the 2024 / 2025 season, Bury St Edmunds Rugby Club would like to host a charity partner at every Men’s 1st XV home fixture.

As a proud community club, we always do our best to facilitate opportunities for charities – of all sizes – to fundraise and generate awareness through the vehicle of rugby at our club. We also host charity events ourselves, but this season, we want to help more than ever.

We are now taking requests for date reservations on a first come first serve basis.

If your charity would like the opportunity to –

- have a physical presence from the moment people arrive
- have an opportunity to speak at our pre-match lunch
- fundraise
- increase supporter acquisition
- receive pre and post-match digital exposure
- be featured in our matchcday programme

… then we can help

There will also be further opportunities across the club during the season too.

We look forward to hearing from you.
