Our Family Fun Day Returns!

Bring the whole family together this Summer!

The club’s famous Family Fun Day makes a return to the Uptonsteel County Ground on Monday 30 August. Leicestershire CCC will face Kent CCC on Day 1 of an LV= County Championship fixture on what is the late Summer Bank Holiday Monday.

This provides a great family day out before children return to school after the summer holidays.

Leicestershire County Cricket Club CEO Sean Jarvis said “We are thrilled to have an opportunity to open our doors once again to the local community to come along to our ever popular annual Family Fun Day event.

“I’d encourage our local neighbours and the wider community of Leicestershire to have a great day out on us. You’ll experience the unique matchday experience here at the Uptonsteel County Ground with a range of fantastic family activities as well. We can’t wait to welcome everybody to the ground again.”

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.
