Stowmarket Rugby Club is delighted to announce that our Supporters Club Oktoberfest Lunch on Saturday 18th October 2025 has officially sold out — with all 100 seats snapped up within just a week of going on sale.

This incredible response shows just how much excitement there is around this special day at Phoenix Park, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who booked and to those who made enquiries. Unfortunately, we had to cap numbers at 100, but rest assured there’s still plenty of action and atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

What’s Happening on the Day

Even if you weren’t able to secure a place at the meal, the whole club will be alive with Oktoberfest spirit. Here’s what’s in store:

Bar open to all supporters throughout the day

Double header rugby action kicking off at 3:00pm:

Stowmarket 1st XV vs Ipswich (local derby clash)

Stowmarket 2nd XV vs Hadleigh

Post-match party with DJ Mark Jeffery-Petty — lederhosen optional but highly encouraged!

A Day to Remember

The Oktoberfest Lunch promises to be one of the biggest days of the season at Phoenix Park. From a German-inspired feast to a packed afternoon of rugby and an evening of entertainment, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.

We also want to thank the dedicated team of volunteers and organisers who have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this day possible.

So, whether you’re joining us for the rugby, the bar, or the evening celebrations, Saturday 18th October is a date not to miss. Come down, show your support, and celebrate Stowmarket RUFC in style!
