We were incredibly happy with every part of the event and the professionalism of your team. It's a great venue and from our side every aspect went well. I am fairly sure we will be back again next year.

Meet your hosts

Meet at Bassett is the trading name for Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Football Club, based at Ballards Ash on the Malmesbury Road just outside Royal Wootton Bassett near Swindon.

The rugby club moved to Ballards Ash in September 2013 to serve as a hub for community rugby in the area. But this is not your average rugby club. Each of the Ballards Ash function rooms is air-conditioned with natural light, high ceilings and flexible room layouts which can be tailored to suit the most demanding guests.

Making our modern facilities available for private hire has helped fund the ongoing development of community rugby and ensure the club continues to be commercially viable.
