What’s on Guide: Gloucester Rugby

12 Jan 2024

Get set for Saturday night’s sold-out European clash against Gloucester Rugby at Hive Stadium with our What’s on Guide.

We’ve got plenty on the go to keep fans of all ages entertained as the Cherry & Whites visit the Scottish capital for a first encounter between the two sides since the 2015 Challenge Cup Final.

Supporters should be made aware that Saughtonhall Bridge will be closed for this fixture due to the Six Nations build at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, with no access for vehicles or fans on foot. All supporters will be directed to cross via Riversdale Bridge to enter via Gate D

Please note: The access route via the East-West Link entrance is unaffected by the build.
