Sponsors Evening 26/27 🔥

A fantastic first Sponsors Evening at Braintree Rugby Club last Thursday!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Sponsors Evening and 2026/27 Kit Launch.
It was great to bring together so many of the people and businesses who support our club, share our plans for the season ahead and give everyone a glimpse behind the scenes at senior training.

Most importantly, it gave us the opportunity to say thank you. Your support makes a real difference across Braintree Rugby Club and we’re incredibly grateful to have you as part of our journey.

Here’s to an exciting season ahead! 🖤🏉

One Club. Your Journey.

BRUFC x WARNER TEXTILE ARCHIVE

We’re extremely excited to have been working alongside Warner Textile Archive & Braintree Museum over the past 6 months, searching for the perfect historical designs to incorporate into our senior kit & stash!

After countless designs, we finally whittled it down to two — and it’s safe to say STC have brought them to life amazingly! 👏

Going into the new season, we wanted to approach our kit differently and, most importantly, incorporate our community into it.

When we approached Braintree Museum, they jumped at the chance to work with us. Together, we’ve built a story for the ages — bringing designs dating back over 100 years to life and connecting them to the old silk factory in the heart of Braintree.

This isn’t just a kit; it’s a piece of Braintree’s history, brought into the present and proudly worn by the next generation of BRUFC players.

A story woven into the fabric of our club.

💛🖤

Everyday Histories: The People who Made Warner & Sons.

Heritage Open Days theme for 2026 is “Everyday Histories” - what did our ancestors do, & what was their daily life like?

Warner & Sons, was established in 1870 by Benjamin Warner, a descendant from a line of scarlet dyers from Spitalfields.

Imagine taking your daily commute to the large sprawling factory of New Mills in Braintree, Essex, owned by Warner & Sons, to weave silks destined for the grandest homes in the world, or meet with your fellow industrial designers to create patterns that will shape the history of interior design.

A unique chance to go behind the scenes at the @warnertextilearchive during @heritageopendays - step into the world of a weaver, a designer, a block-printer, a sales representative or interior decorator to understand the process of initial design idea through to finished textile.

Journey through this development viewing significant & stunning textiles designed & made by Warner & Sons, illustrating how specific roles working together contributed to building a business that led the way in furnishing textile design & manufacture across the centuries.

There are two dates to choose from: Friday 18th September 2026 or Saturday 19th September 2026 at 11:00am to 12:00 noon. The website address below takes you to @braintreemuseum’s website to book your free place.
