You don't need a festival to book Oban Lorne RFC. Our clubhouse and facilities are available for private and community events of all sizes — from birthday parties to corporate meetings.
See It on an Event Night
Fairy lights, full bar and a buzzing atmosphere — our clubhouse comes alive for celebrations.
Birthday Parties
Hire the function room for a birthday celebration. Bar facilities available. Flexible setup to suit any age group.
Weddings & Celebrations
A unique West Highland setting for your special day. The ground and clubhouse can be configured for ceremonies, receptions, and evening parties.
Community Groups
Meeting rooms and open space available for community organisations, clubs, charities, and local groups throughout the week.
Private Functions
Anniversaries, retirements, reunions — whatever the occasion, we can accommodate your group with bar service and catering options.
Clubhouse hire is £100 for non-members and £60 for club members (free for playing members). Pricing for pitches and other facilities depends on the event — get in touch to discuss.
Book a FacilityGround Infrastructure
The ground has been significantly upgraded to support events far beyond matchday. Here's what's in place:
3-Phase Power
Full 3-phase power supply already on site — capable of supporting large-scale events, commercial catering rigs, and production equipment. A large main stage would still need generators, but most event requirements are covered.
New Floodlights (2026)
Brand new floodlighting installed in 2026, making the pitch fully operational for evening fixtures, training, and night-time events year-round.
Vendor Stations
Dedicated vendor connection points were laid alongside the pitch alongside the floodlight installation — ready for burger vans, food trucks, and pop-up traders at events.
Media & Cable Ducting
Underground ducting for media and power cables integrated into the ground — supporting broadcast, live streaming, and large event production.
Perimeter Fencing
Secure perimeter fencing is being installed over summer 2026. Once complete, it will enable ticketed events, crowd management, and controlled access for large public gatherings.
100-Seat Covered Stand
A 100-seat covered spectator stand is being installed over summer 2026, providing sheltered viewing for supporters, VIP guests, and event audiences.
What We Can Host
We're actively talking to event organisers now — our hire agreement and terms are being finalised this summer. If you're planning an event, now is the right time to get in touch.
Perimeter fencing and the covered stand are being installed over summer 2026. All other infrastructure — 3-phase power, vendor stations, media ducting, and floodlights — is already in place.
Competitive Rugby & Multi-Sport Events
Floodlit pitches, changing facilities, and vendor infrastructure already in place.
Weddings & Celebrations
A unique West Highland setting for your special day, with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces.
Concerts & Live Entertainment
3-phase power on site handles a lot — for a large main stage, generators would be needed, but we already have the vendor stations and infrastructure for everything else.
Food & Drink Festivals
Dedicated vendor connection points alongside the pitch, ready for food trucks and pop-up traders.
Charity & Public Events
A welcoming, well-equipped ground open to the community for fundraisers, fairs, and public gatherings.
Event Hire Package — Coming Soon
We're developing a whole-ground hire package that could save organisers significantly on fencing, power, and site setup costs. Get in touch to be first to hear.
The Bigger Picture
A Community Vision
Oban Lorne RFC sits within the wider Glencruitten and Mossfield area — a part of Oban with huge long-term potential for sport, community, and enterprise. There are significant opportunities across the whole site, and others in the area share that vision.
But we've always believed in concentrating on what we can control. Our focus is on our patch — making Oban Lorne RFC's ground the best it can be for rugby and for the community.
Sport is the anchor, but the ambition is bigger: a well-used, welcoming space that hosts events, brings people together, and supports local enterprise — one that we can genuinely be proud of.
Currently Fundraising
Clubhouse Redevelopment
We're currently fundraising to completely redesign and rebuild the clubhouse at Oban Lorne RFC. The vision is a multi-use community sports and events hub — a facility that serves the club, the community, and the region for decades to come.
The current building has its function room upstairs, limiting access for many people. The new clubhouse will be on the lower floor — fully accessible, welcoming to everyone, and significantly larger than what we have today.
Beyond sport, the vision includes space for weddings, community groups, co-working, and local enterprise — with ambitions to create real employment opportunities in the area.
