Cheltenham Cricket Festival
The Brewin Dolphin Cheltenham Cricket Festival 2012 will once again be taking to the green pitches of Cheltenham College for a fortnight of Gloucestershire County cricket.
The Brewin Dolphin Cheltenham Cricket Festival 2012 promises to provide a fortnight of first class cricket once again this summer, with Cheltenham College inundated with fans from across Gloucestershire and beyond when the gates are open for the first festival match.
Gloucestershire County Cricket Club has been playing in Cheltenham for over 135 years, and during the last century the festival has gone from strength-to-strength – now dubbed one of the most successful cricket festivals in the world, attracting thousands of spectators.
Plus, as well as watching the world class cricket on the pitch, younger generations of cricketers can also try their skill in an area set aside for youngsters to play cricket, get coaching, as well as take part in competitions.
Whether you are an avid fan or a first timer, the Brewin Dolphin Cheltenham Cricket Festival 2012 is a magnificent opportunity to see some spectacular cricket – and hopefully catch a bit of sunshine – in Gloucestershire.
