Come to the beach!

Brighton & Hove's official Rugby World Cup 2015 Fanzone opened last night with crowds heading to the beach to watch the opening match on the big screen. 


There was a range of activities to try and refreshments to buy in the main Fanzone area on the pebbles and along Madeira Drive.



Then as the sunset, people settled down on the pebbles to see the action live on screen.


The live feed from Twickenham showed the Opening Ceremony and England's 35 to 11 win over Fiji in the first game of the Tournament.


The Fanzone re-opens this morning at 11am. For the first hour, the prestigious Webb Ellis Cup will be on display. 

Fanzone opening times for the rest of the weekend:

Saturday September 19, 11am to 11pm
Sunday September 20, 11am to 8pm

Come along and see all the matches being played this weekend live on the big screen, including the two matches being played at the Brighton Community Stadium, South Africa v Japan at 4.45 today and Samoa v USA at noon tomorrow. 

Ticketholders can buy shuttlebus tickets to the stadium from the main office located in a portacabin on Madeira Drive. The shuttlebus runs from the Fanzone to the Stadium and back again after each Brighton match. The cost per day is £5, payable in cash only. 

Don't miss out! Come to the beach this weekend!
