Special events

Sunday 26 June - Former Players Day: Around 50 former Glos players will be attending this fixture including the likes of David Lawrence, Mike Procter, Chris Broad, Mark Alleyne, David Graveney, Martyn Ball and Monte Lynch. They’ll be celebrating the planting of a new tree at the Stadium to commemorate all past players, and will be available for autographs and photos in front of the pavilion during the lunch interval.

Monday 27 June – Community Talk: For anyone that’s always wanted to know more about the non-cricketing side of the Club, we’re delighted to be hosting a Community Team Talk during the lunch interval of day two of this match. There will be a chance to meet the Community Team, hear all about the work that’s happening now, plus understand more about the Club’s community ambitions for the future.

You can also learn more about Gloucestershire Cricket Trust, the club’s charitable arm, and how it links up with the Community Team. Anyone wanting to get involved, or to donate to the Gloucestershire Cricket Trust, will be more than welcome. 

Tuesday 28 June – School’s Day: Over 300 children from primary schools right across Bristol will be visiting the Stadium to enjoy a day’s live cricket. They’ll be taking part in a range of activities, including cricket skills training, a museum visit and have the chance to meet the players for autographs.

All the children will be seated in the Jack Russell Family Stand, so expect some extra cheering from that corner! It will be a really exciting opportunity for some that have never attended a cricket match before, and it’s extremely important that we inspire our next generation of supporters.

What we need from you

All match tickets are unassigned, so you can choose where you sit when you get to the Stadium and meet up with friends easily if they’ve bought tickets separately.

Should you find yourself sat near someone drinking or behaving irresponsibly, please let us know and the stewards will resolve the situation as quickly as possible. Either speak to a steward or report the behaviour anonymously via text message to the following number: 07860 027799

Please also remember to WATCH THE BALL. When a four or six is hit, the ball could be coming your way, into the stand, at speed. Keep your eyes peeled to ensure you’re not taken by surprise.

We’re Cashless!

Please be aware that ALL of the Seat Unique Stadium is now cashless, so bring along a debit or credit card for all food, drinks and merchandise purchases.

Free After Tea!

A full day’s County Championship cricket isn’t always for everyone or can’t always be squeezed in, so our ‘Free After Tea’ initiative runs throughout every four-day match. Whether you’re after a shorter taste of County Championship cricket or you just want to squeeze in a couple hours play after work or school, why not come along for FREE? Just arrive for the final session only and you won’t be charged an entry free. The perfect time of day to grab a drink, soak up the sun and see some great cricket.
