The museum is located across the street from Rugby School in the historic building where boot and shoemakers William and James Gilbert relocated from High Street in 1842 to expand their rugby football manufacturing business. Match balls have been hand-stitched on this site for over 180 years. A wealth of rugby memorabilia for rugby enthusiasts. This legacy lives on at Webb Ellis Ltd today, earning the company the distinction of having the world’s oldest continuous affiliation with rugby. The collection is divided into four sections, each with a different theme. The roots, the players, the game, and the ball are among them.
The Theatre Chipping Norton: The Comedy of Errors
Pedalling from venue to venue with all of their set, props and costumes on the back of their bikes, the HandleBards are a four-strong troupe of actors who are spending the summer bringing environmentally sustainable Shakespeare to venues across the UK. Join the troupe at the beautiful Newbarn Farm for a bicycle-powered production of Shakespeare’s ‘The Comedy of Errors’ like you’ve never seen before. When two sets of estranged twins are brought together on the same island, this classic comedy takes hold, with mistaken identity, music and manic costume changes a plenty. This is an outdoor production, so please bring a chair or blanket to sit on, a picnic to dig into, and dress for the weather!
