Blackadders Touch

Blackadders Touch is an inclusive and vibrant touch rugby community established in 2007 and based in Whitley Bay, just outside Newcastle. The organization has a rich history of competing at various levels of touch rugby in both England and Scotland, welcoming participants of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Committed to promoting fitness and fun, Blackadders Touch serves as a perfect entry point for those looking to rekindle their love for rugby without the physical risks of contact.

Every Thursday, they host a social touch evening, encouraging both newcomers and seasoned players to join in a relaxed atmosphere. Their commitment to community extends beyond sports; each year they support local charities—highlighting significant causes through annual tournaments. For 2025, the focus will be on the MS Research and Relief Fund. Blackadders Touch is not just about the game; it’s a movement that prioritizes inclusion, teamwork, and enjoyment while fostering a sense of camaraderie and support.
