Large rucksacks are not permitted inside the stadium.\n\n\n\nCashless Venue: Twickenham is a fully cashless stadium; ensure you have a contactless card or mobile payment ready for food and merchandise.\n\n\n\nDress Code: June in London can be warm\, but the stadium is open-air—bring a light jacket for when the sun goes down during the second half of the women’s game.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n🔗 Helpful Links for Your Trip\n\n\n\n\nOfficial Barbarian FC Website\n\n\n\nRFU / England Rugby Tickets\n\n\n\nTransport for London (TfL) Journey Planner\n\n\n\nSouth Western Railway\n\n\n\n\nPrepare for a day of spectacular “running rugby” as the world’s most famous club takes on the might of Wales! 🏉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
