The festival runs all day Saturday 29th August, kicking off at noon and running through to 21:30. Expect competitive cricket matches at Blackpool Cricket Club, with the kind of atmosphere that makes grassroots sport genuinely special. It's the sort of event where you can pitch up early, stay late, and soak up the whole day without needing a schedule.
The vibe
Bank holiday cricket festivals have their own energy: part sporting spectacle, part summer fair. Blackpool's coastal setting means you'll get that breezy seaside atmosphere even when you're tucked into a cricket ground. Whether you're watching from the boundary, grabbing refreshments between innings, or just enjoying the company, it's low-pressure fun with genuine competitive cricket at its heart.
Getting tickets
Details on pricing and booking will be confirmed closer to the date. For a bank holiday fixture like this, entry is often very reasonable—sometimes free for club members, with modest day rates for visitors. Keep an eye on the Blackpool Cricket Club's official channels for ticket information and any special packages.
