Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum

The Webb Ellis Rugby Football Museum contains international rugby memorabilia displayed in the former Gilbert company building, including historic rugby balls and equipment.

William Gilbert established his rugby ball manufacturing workshop at this location in 1842, starting a continuous tradition that extends to the present day.

The museum presents exhibits about the development of rugby from a school game to an international sport through artifacts, equipment, and historical documents.

The museum maintains regular opening hours throughout the year and features special exhibitions, including the current William Webb Ellis retrospective.

Visitors can observe the traditional manufacturing process of handmade rugby balls, which continues in the same building where it began over 180 years ago.
