Get into cricket with Crossbats Cricket Club

As the weather warms up, take up or get back into the English game with friendly local cricket at Marble Hill Park.

Marble Hill Park's 66 acres is home to Crossbats Cricket Club.

One of the community events run by English Heritage is the upcoming Marble Hill Cup, a match between Crossbats and another local team.

This year the event is taking place on Monday 29 May. This is a great opportunity to explore the park, enjoy the sound of leather on willow, or get involved.

You might even be tempted to dust off the old bat and come and play some cricket - Crossbats welcomes new members or any other local teams looking for a friendly opposition in a lovely setting.

Why not give it a go?
