The Sevens Tournament and Family Fun Day at Market Harborough Rugby Club on Sunday may 2has been organised to raise money for two worthy Harborough-based charities.
Proceeds from the day will be split between the Eva Winston-Hart Trust for research into leukaemia treatment, and the Adam'Smile campaign to build a safe cycle track between Harborough and Lubenham.
It will feature a cup competition with a cash prize of 500 and an under-19s Colts event with 250 to the winner.
As well as the rugby, it will feature a host of family entertainment, including bouncy castles and fun games as well as hot food, a licensed bar, and an evening disco.
There will also be a raffle with prizes inluding dinners and hotel stays, all donated by Harborough businesses.
Gates open for registration at 10.30am and the first match is due to kick-off at 11.30am, with finals expected to take place at about 4pm.
Adam Shepherd, social secretary at the rugby club, said: "With almost twenty teams already registered for the tournament and many others expected to register on the day, this year's MHRFC Sevens looks to be a very successful and action-packed event."
