Bath Rugby made history yesterday by clinching the Gallagher Premiership title with a thrilling victory over Leicester Tigers at Twickenham. Today, Sunday, June 15, fans across the city can join the celebrations as the champions take to the streets of Bath for a special victory parade.
Following the win, Bath Rugby announced the details of the parade and post-match festivities in an official statement. The celebrations will kick off at 4:30 pm with the team departing from Great Pulteney Street on an open-top bus, touring the city centre.
The procession will travel along iconic routes including Pulteney Street, Orange Grove, Broad Street, and Milsom Street, before crossing Pulteney Bridge en route to The Rec. This is expected to draw a large turnout, and fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure the best viewing spots.
