Cricket hospitality
Like a true sports fan, our clients love feeling immersed in this history. Commemorating England’s loss to Australia on home soil at the Oval on August 29th 1882, the term “Ashes” was introduced to mark this major setback. Soon after, The Sporting Times printed a mock obituary, mourning the home side’s loss.
It read:
“In Affectionate Remembrance of English cricket, which died at The Oval on 29 August 1882. Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances RIP. NB – the body will be cremated and the ashes take to Australia.”
For the return series in 1883, England’s captain Ivo Bligh (later Lord Darnley), swore to “regain those ashes” during that tour—when which his future wife, Florence Morphy surprised him with a six-inch terracotta urn, believed to hold the ashes of a burned bail. Now known as the legend of The Ashes, we honour this cricket tradition between Australia and England.
Witness these two countries battle it out from your premium padded seats while rubbing elbows with cricket royalty! Enjoy a complimentary bar, including selected wines, beers and mainline spirits. From the cosy luxury of your private table, you and your guests will dive into delicious culinary journeys and create lasting memories. Cheers to this exhilarating day!
Let’s save the date for a sizzling summer of cricket hospitality!
The Ashes is a cricket test match series, consisting of five test matches played between England and Australia every two years. It is one of the oldest and most celebrated international cricket rivalries, with a rich history dating back to 1882.
The Ashes series, a cricket test match series between England and Australia, usually takes place once every two years, alternating between the two countries. Each series consists of five test matches, played over a period of approximately one month.
Sir Donald Bradman currently holds the record for the most runs in Ashes history.
The Ashes game commences at 11am.
England last won the Ashes in 2015. Since then, their biggest success was during summer 2019, during which the series was held in England. These victories mark significant milestones for the England cricket team making them even more hungry for future wins.
In each edition of the Ashes series, there are typically 5 test matches which take place. The number of tests has been set at five since the current format was established in the late 19th century. Each test match lasts for 5 days, and ensures a true and gruelling test of skill, endurance, and mental toughness for each cricket player involved.
