A New All-Weather Rugby & Community Sports Facility for Barry.

 

Barry Rugby Football Club is developing a state-of-the-art floodlit 3G pitch to deliver year-round access to rugby and community sport in Barry. This modern facility will support all age groups – from minis and juniors to walking rugby and Veterans rugby – while creating a shared sporting hub for football clubs, schools and the wider community.

 

The WRU and FAW-approved 3G surface will provide consistent, all-weather performance, floodlit evening access and multi-sport capability, addressing the limitations of grass pitches and poor winter drainage. This will enable reliable training, competitive fixtures and recreational sport throughout the year.

 

With over 500 playing members and growing demand, the project supports a targeted 20% increase in participation, expands inclusive opportunities such as girls’ rugby and walking rugby, and strengthens pathways from grassroots to senior and Veterans rugby.

The pitch will also provide vital space for local football clubs and community groups, helping tackle the shortage of suitable outdoor facilities in Barry while improving health, wellbeing and social connection across all ages.

 

Backed by overwhelming community support, the project will reinforce the long-term sustainability of Barry RFC through reduced maintenance costs and year-round revenue, while delivering lasting benefit to the entire Vale of Glamorgan sporting community.

 

A facility for rugby. A hub for sport. A legacy for Barry.
