Rugby League World Cup Cultural Festival
The Rugby League World Cup Cultural Festival was an ambitious, inclusive, multidisciplinary festival bringing together audiences for sport and art. Over October and November 2022, the festival brought large-scale outdoor performances, arresting public art works and a programme of engagement opportunities. Taking place in four of the tournament host cities, and across 40 library services reaching deep into the Rugby League heartland towns across the North, the festival amplified the tournament’s strapline of “The Power of Together” and celebrated inclusivity and positive social impact.
