Match Day Activities
We are laying-on a host of family fun entertainment aimed at maximising the experience of this family fun occasion between 10am and 4pm.

In the Trent Bridge Inn Courtyard, meanwhile, samba drumming workshop will run alongside the Cricket Factory which is a fun and entertaining way for people of all ages and abilities to take part in throwing, catching and batting activities. The factory will be just one of three cricket activity zones within the courtyard.

Nuts the Squirrel will be around the ground for your entertainment, and the entire Nottinghamshire team – which includes a number of big name international cricketers - will sign autographs pitchside in-front of the pavilion shortly after close of play.
Activities in the New Stand Concourse will include caricaturist Peter Dredge, a second hand book and magazine stall, smoothie bikes and a healthy living unit.
All of the above entertainment is free of charge. Please ask a steward should you require directions to any of the above listed areas or for further information.
