Roe Green Cricket Club Festival returns to Worsley this August

Roe Green Cricket Club is throwing open its gates for a full day of cricket and community spirit. Whether you're a devoted club member, a casual cricket fan, or just after a proper summer day out, this festival is worth pencilling in.

What's on

The festival runs Saturday, 22 August 2026, from noon until 9:30 p.m. Expect cricket action throughout the day—fixtures, friendly matches, and the sort of grassroots cricket that actually feels like it matters. All profits from the day go straight into club improvements, so you're supporting something tangible.

The vibe

Think traditional English cricket club atmosphere: pavilion tea, proper grass pitches, and neighbours mingling between matches. There's a fundraising angle, but that doesn't mean it feels like a school fête—this is proper cricket territory with a community heart. Afternoon drinks, post-match chat, and the genuine pleasure of a day at the club.

Getting tickets

Tickets are available through Skiddle. Exact pricing hasn't been confirmed yet, but festival entries for club fundraisers like this typically sit in the £5–£15 range depending on age and whether you want a day pass or specific match attendance. Check closer to the date for final ticket tiers and any family packages.

Where to stay

Worsley is well within Greater Manchester's orbit, and we've picked a selection of hotels within easy reach of the cricket club below. Most visitors find accommodation in nearby Eccles or central Manchester, with straightforward transport links back to the ground.

Getting there

From Manchester city centre, it's a 20-minute drive or a short bus journey north-west to Worsley. If you're coming from further afield—Liverpool, Leeds, or Birmingham—take the train into Manchester Piccadilly, then a taxi or bus out to the club. Roe Green is well signposted, and parking at the venue is usually hassle-free for day events.
