The Rugby League World Cup 2021 is coming to Warrington and we want you to help us dress the town to welcome players and spectators from all over the world to Warrington.
Colourful rugby balls designed by our primary school children will be featured in the town dressing, mapping out the routes to the Halliwell Jones Stadium where matches will take place and in key parts of our town centre.

Tips and ideas for designs
- Make it clear, colourful and eye-catching.
- Your design could be about celebrating Warrington, international sport, welcoming Papua New Guinea or celebrating other elements of the world cup such as the women’s, wheelchair and physical disability world cup events.
- Remember, the theme is ‘The Power of Together’.
- Don’t forget to include the name of your school.
