LAXTON V HARRINGWORTH CRICKET MATCH FOR THE SNOWDEN ASHES TROPHY

The teams are all set to provide a fun evening of traditional village cricket at Laxton Park Cricket Grounds on Friday evening starting at 6.00pm.

Tickets: entry tickets will be available on arrival at the Cricket Ground and cost £5.00pp (children <16 free). Each ticket will provide you with either a beef burger or a hot dog.

BBQ, bar, cake and ice cream: in addition to the BBQ you can also enjoy the bar where we will be serving drinks, cakes and ice creams. You may choose to bring along picnic rugs (or folding chairs) to enjoy watching the match on what promises to be a warm and sunny summers evening.

Cash: the phone signal is poor up at the ground so we are not sure how reliable our card machines will be, so please bring cash, if you can.

RAFFLE: The Raffle has fabulous luxury prizes including: 1) Voucher for two tickets to any 2025 Tolethorpe production, 2) Champneys Spa day for two, 3) ‘Party on the Wharf’, Oundle for two – Blondie tribute act plus others, 4) £25 Voucher Nene Valley Brewery, 5) Pool day for two at Spanhoe Lodge, 6) Friday Night Fish and Chips for two from New Lodge Farm, 7) Mini-Hamper.

Parking: this will be signed close to the entrance gate of the park. You are welcome to drive up to the grounds to drop off your passengers closer to the ground.

Any questions please message Philippa Gasson via WhatsApp on 07858 504568. Do message if you would like a vegetarian option from the BBQ.
