Should you be visiting us for the Trent Bridge Community Trust Family Fun Day as Nottinghamshire face Hampshire on Sunday 14 August, this match-day guide contains all the information you need to ensure maximum enjoyment from your day out at Trent Bridge.

Match Day Activities

We are laying-on a host of family fun entertainment between 10.30am and 4pm.

Visit our face painters and bouncy castle in the Squash Courts, via the ticket office near the pavilion.

In the Trent Bridge Inn Courtyard, meanwhile, a samba drumming workshop will run alongside the Outlaws Cricket Zone 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 accompanied by an additional cricket activity area.

Lexus Cars and the RAF will also be in position on the TBI Courtyard . Feel free to stop by and pay them a visit.

Ground tours will depart from outside the ticket office at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm, for which places can be booked in advance of each tour at the Trent Bridge Community Trust stall, which will be located near to the rear entrance of the Pavilion, opposite the Dixon Gates. Please book your tour half an hour or more in advance. 

Supporters are welcome to play on the outfield during the Lunch & Tea intervals, with the possibility of autograph opportunities arising during the day.

Activities on the concourse of the Smith Cooper Stand will include caricaturist, smoothie bikes, cake stall, an urban artist and a healthy living stand hosted by Rushcliffe Borough Council.

Adjacent to the Smith Cooper Stand Concourse, in the vicinity of the Dixon Gates, a small retail unit will be accompanied by a stand promoting the work of the Trent Bridge Community Trust, changing the lives of local young people for the better.

This stand will also act as the registration point for Ground Tours at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm, and where you can take part in the Trent Bridge Trail quiz, with clues located around the ground.

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.
