Not long to go until the Cheltenham Cricket Festival gates open
19 June 2017
It is less than two weeks to go until the gates open to the Cheltenham Cricket Festival and supporters can look forward to one of the most exciting festival schedules in years.
Alongside two local derbies in the Specsavers County Championship, the festival will host three NatWest T20 Blast matches
The Cheltenham Cricket Festival is one of the most loved events in the social and sporting calendar. The idyllic setting of Cheltenham College provides the perfect backdrop for cricket at the height of summer.
Gloucestershire have been playing in the stunning grounds of Cheltenham College for over 140 years, making this the world’s longest running cricket festival on an outfield. The ground’s idyllic setting has provided a perfect backdrop for the Festival throughout its history, a great attraction for cricket fans, new supporters and big cricketing stars.
The 2016 festival saw over 20,000 people attend over the two weeks and we would like to thank everyone who came along and was a part of it.
For the 2017 Cheltenham Cricket Festival, supporters can look forward to, two Specsavers County Championship matches and three NatWest T20 Blast matches.
