The Macclesfield Rugby Union Football Club (Macclesfield RUFC) will host the Macclesfield Sevens tournament at Priory Park in Macclesfield, Cheshire, on Saturday 13 June 2026. The one‑day event will feature teams from across the region competing in fast‑paced Rugby Sevens matches and will help raise funds for the club’s ongoing facility improvements.
According to the Cheshire RFU club profile, Macclesfield RUFC emphasises inclusivity across age groups, developing players from Mini and Junior levels through to the senior game. The tournament is expected to include multiple tiers — Elite and Social — and organisers say a Women’s or Veterans’ bracket is likely. Matches are expected to start at around 10:00am, with finals scheduled for the early evening.
Funds raised from the event are intended to support the club’s long‑term plan to modernise the clubhouse and improve facilities for the local community. An Emery Planning public consultation for a replacement clubhouse and reorganised pitches has described the club’s aim to create a 21st‑century hub for meetings and community events. Visitors can expect a family‑friendly atmosphere with local food vendors and hospitality centred around the club’s outside bar, the ‘Sin Bin.’ To reduce traffic on Priory Lane at large events, the club has previously arranged additional off‑site parking at nearby venues such as The Fallibroome Academy (and Kings School), which are a short walk from Priory Park.
