Cricket Simulator added to Family Fun Day

Practice like a pro at the Uptonsteel County Ground on Monday, August 30, as a new batting cricket simulator is added to the Family Fun Day activities.

The industry-leading, state-of-the-art simulator will be available for all Foxes fans to face some of the world’s best bowlers, providing a unique and interactive activity.

The simulator is the latest activity to be added to the Family Fun Day, on the back of a rock climbing wall also being included. The Family Fun Day has been running for several years at the ground, and with free entry available, it provides a great day out for families to enjoy ahead of children returning to school after the summer holidays.

The Running Foxes will face Kent CCC on Day One of the LV= County Championship fixture, so as well as a full day of cricket, an array of family entertainment will be available throughout the day for everyone to enjoy as well as the chance to watch the Running Foxes in action.

To make the day even better, entry is completely free for all visitors.

Admission is completely free. For added ease, and to ensure a fast-track entry to the ground, you can claim your free tickets online HERE.

E-tickets will be sent out closer to the date of the Family Fun Day which will be scanned on entry for fast-track access to the Uptonsteel County Ground.

If you do not claim your tickets in advance of the day, to comply with government guidelines, you will be required to scan in via the NHS Track and Trace App or complete a contact data form upon entry.

Matchday Activities

There will be entertainment for the whole family with a wide range of fun activities between 11am and 4pm.

The Foxes Den will be open throughout the day. Our professional coaching staff will be running different activities for children to try out and learn new cricket skills.

Whilst you’re in the Foxes Den, visit the bouncy castle, face painting station and get involved with some arts and crafts activities, reach new heights with the rock climbing wall and now, have a bat within the cricket simulator.

Also be sure to take part in our ‘Find a Fox’ treasure hunt for a chance to win some fantastic prizes!

Keep a close eye out on our social media channels and our website for more activities to be added.

Food & Drink

A wide range of food and drink options will be on offer. Make sure you visit the Friends of Grace Road who will be located inside the Bennett Bar serving their delicious famous homemade cakes during the afternoon.

There will also be an ice cream van and a sweet stall at the ground throughout the day.

Please note that the Uptonsteel County Ground is now a cashless stadium and all payments for food and beverages must be made via a debit or credit card.
