5 Reasons Why Cricket at Durham Should Be on Your Summer Bucket List

Sunshine (hopefully), live sport, great company and cold drinks – what more could you ask for this summer? If you haven’t already got a day at Durham Cricket pencilled in, here’s why it absolutely deserves a spot on your summer bucket list:

1. It’s More Than Just Cricket

Sure, the cricket’s world-class – with six-hitting superstars and edge-of-your-seat finishes – but the whole experience goes way beyond the boundary. Think live music, fan zones, street food, giveaways, and good vibes all around.

2. Double-Headers = Double the Action

Some matchdays mean two games for the price of one – with both our men’s and women’s teams playing back-to-back. That’s a full day of sport, entertainment and sunshine (plus twice the chances to catch a six in the crowd).

3. Something for Everyone

Whether you’re a cricket die-hard or just here for the snacks and sunshine, there’s a spot for you. From the buzzing  Fan Zone and sensory-friendly spaces, to the Everyone Active Family Zone and Changing Places facility, we’ve created an environment where everyone’s welcome.

4. Durham Vibes Hit Different

There’s something special about cricket at the Banks Homes Riverside. The views? Stunning. The crowd? Electric. The memories? Guaranteed. It’s the perfect place to soak up the summer with friends, family or work mates.

5. It’s One of the Best Value Days Out Around

With affordable tickets from just £5group discounts, and a full day of entertainment, cricket at Durham delivers big on value. You’ll get hours of funtop-tier sport, and a brilliant day out without breaking the bank.

Whether it’s a Friday night thriller, a weekend family day, or a bucket list first-timer experience, cricket at Durham is calling this summer.
