Preparations are well underway for when the Notts Outlaws head back to Welbeck Cricket Club for the Royal London One-Day Cup fixture against the Derbyshire Falcons on Sunday 24 July.
The match against the Falcons follows the Welbeck Weekender in 2015 when two matches were played at the picturesque outpost in the north of the county, with the home county romping to a thrilling nine wicket victory on the opening day against Warwickshire.
Prior to that, Nottinghamshire’s previous out-ground fixture came at Cleethorpes in 2004.
This match-day guide contains all the information you need to ensure maximum enjoyment from your day out at Welbeck.
