Cheltenham Cricket Festival

Cheltenham Cricket Festival 2010 will once again be taking to the green pitches of Cheltenham College this summer for a fortnight of first class Gloucestershire County cricket.

Cheltenham Cricket Festival 2010 promises to provide fans of the sport with a fortnight of first class cricket once again this summer, when Cheltenham College will be inundated with fans from across Gloucestershire and beyond when the gates are opened for the first festival match.

Gloucestershire County Cricket Club has been playing in Cheltenham for over 135 years, although the annual games were not officially called a festival until 1906. In the last 100 years the festival has gone from strength-to-strength, and is now one of the most successful cricket festivals in the world, attracting thousands of spectators.

As well as watching the world class cricket on the pitch, younger generations of cricketers can also try their skill in the C&G Game Zone – 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 Cheltenham Cricket Festival 2010 is a magnificent opportunity to see some spectacular cricket – and hopefully catch a bit of sunshine – in Gloucestershire.
