Especially at Durham Cricket!
There’s something special about live sport. The energy, the atmosphere, the roar of the crowd… it all adds to the experience. And while the sofa might seem tempting, nothing compares to being there in person. If you haven’t experienced a match day at Durham Cricket yet, here’s why it’s time to swap the TV remote for a ticket…
1. Feel the Atmosphere, Not Just the Commentary
TV might give you close-ups, but it can’t match the buzz of the crowd when a six flies into the stands or a wicket falls at the perfect moment. At Banks Homes Riverside, you’re part of the action — the noise, the excitement, the drama. It’s not just cricket. It’s an experience.
2. Make It a Day Out
Whether it’s a sunny Friday night under the lights or a full Sunday of family fun, coming to Durham Cricket is more than just watching a game. There’s live music, delicious food, themed nights, kids’ entertainment, and so much more. Watching at home? That’s just… watching.
3. Create Real-Life Memories
Some moments are too good to stay on screen. Think: your little one getting their first autograph, catching a T20 match ball, or cheering a last-over win with mates. These are the stories you’ll talk about and memories you’ll relive — and they only happen live.
4. Join the Community
Cricket at Durham is all about connection – with friends, family, and fellow fans. There’s something about sharing the stand with strangers and ending the day as cricket comrades. From die-hard supporters to first-timers, everyone’s welcome here.
5. You Just Never Know What You’ll See
A century from a future England star. A hat-trick under the summer sun. A dog on the pitch (it’s happened before). Live cricket is unpredictable, unscripted and unforgettable — and that’s what makes it magic.
