Rugby League World Cup Cultural Festival gets under way in Newcastle City Centre and at St James' Park in Newcastle upon Tyne UK, 15th October 2022, Credit:DEW/Alamy Live News
St James’ Park host the opening fixture of the men’s Rugby League World Cup 2021 when England face Samoa, but there is plenty more than the tournament curtain raiser for people to soak up during the competition. As well as the rugby, Newcastle is one of host four cities – along with Leeds, Hull, and Manchester – to stage a Cultural Festival as part of the tournament’s events. A spectacular new outdoor performance will bring the atmosphere and passion of the Rugby League World Cup out of the stadium and onto the streets and all before kick-off. This specially commissioned free show, which features dance, music and aerial performance, tells three unique stories about the game and its people, charting how it has evolved from its roots to the sport we see today which inspires such passion in its fans. It takes place across three locations all within a stone’s throw of St James’ Park: Strawberry Place; The Lumen, St James Boulevard; and Science Square, Newcastle.
