William Clarke Family Stand

Situated between the Radcliffe Road End and the Smith Cooper Stand, the William Clarke Stand will be alcohol free and is perfectly located for a host of family fun entertainment on the Trent Bridge Inn Courtyard.
A face painter and glitter tattooist will be situated in the stand, which will also be the best bet for the free NatWest T20 Blast t-shirt giveaways in the middle of each innings.
Match Day Activities
If the explosive entertainment of the NatWest T20 Blast isn’t enough, we are also laying on a host of family friendly entertainment, much of which will be situated in the Trent Bridge Inn Courtyard.
Collect your NatWest T20 Blast/Outlaws giveaways and visit our brand new Outlaws Cricket Zone, where spectators - especially kids - can take part in batting, bowling and fielding exercises.
Also visit our face painters and bouncy castle, situated in the Squash Courts via the ticket office near the pavilion, where we even lay on a creche - staffed by fully qualified child minders - at T20 matches on weekend afternoons.
Nuts the Squirrel and our freestyle entertainers will be around the ground for your entertainment, and the entire Outlaws team will sign autographs at the front of the Smith Cooper Stand shortly after close of play.
Finally, look out for our in-ground displays of pyrotechnics, as we celebrate Outlaws’ boundaries and wickets with entertaining flashes of colour.
All of the above entertainment is free of charge. Please ask a steward should you require any further information.
