As part of the Emirates Airline Edinburgh 7s Festival, Murrayfield will be hosting two large open-invite rugby festivals on each day on the stadium's back pitches: Golden Oldies and women (day 1 - Saturday 29 May) and minis (day 2 - Sunday 30).

Thousands of party-goers from around the world enjoy the finale of the IRB Sevens World Series at Murrayfield which is supported by a massive rugby tournament on both days, meaning the whole stadium grounds, inside and out, are taken over by sevens fun in the summer sun.

Event ambassador, Roy Laidlaw, said: "The festival on the back pitches is a key part of the light-hearted off-field atmosphere at the Edinburgh sevens - with Murrayfield's back-pitches offering a chance to relax, eat, drink and party outside the stadium bowl.The festival of rugby creates such a buzz around an already action-packed international sevens event and makes the Murrayfield leg really stand out from the crowd."

GOLDEN OLDIES: SATURDAY 29 MAY (DAY ONE)
Rugby players over 35 have been offered the chance to showcase their skills at the home of Scottish Rugby as part of the back pitch festival of rugby that complements both days of the Emirates Airline Edinburgh 7s.

Celebrate the spirit, ethos and camaraderie of Golden Oldies rugby in style by taking part in our Oldies sevens here at the home of Scottish Rugby on day one of the sevens weekend (Saturday 29 May). Squads of 10 players are required to make up each of the 32 teams taking part in the Oldies sevens which will take place on Murrayfield’s back pitches alongside the warm up area for the international sevens teams – with breaks scheduled to allow everyone to see all of Scotland 7s’ matches in the stadium bowl.
