Edgbaston Cricket Ground
Hosts of the T20 Vitality Blast Finals
The Calthorpe Estate originally owned the land that is now Edgbaston Cricket Ground. They believed a cricket ground would be an asset to the Birmingham area and a preferable site for the county headquarters. Rugby and Leamington Spa were considered, but with Edgbaston’s grounds being a 20-minute walk away from New Street Station, Warwickshire agreed to lease the land for £5 per acre over a 21-year period starting in 1885.
Less than two decades later, Edgbaston hosted its first test match, which was the very first in the Ashes series in 1902. To accommodate the spectators, the club erected a permanent stand, two temporary stands and facilities for 90 members of the press. Edgbaston was also the first to host a competitive floodlit day-night cricket match in Britain.
Edgbaston is now renowned for being one of the world’s most famous cricket grounds, hosting several international Test Matches. With fantastic facilities and an incredible atmosphere, guests are guaranteed to be impressed by the panoramic views of the ground and the delicious food and drinks service.

Discover More About Edgbaston Cricket Ground:
Established in the 19th century, Edgbaston Cricket Ground is a leading sporting venue in the UK. It has hosted a number of major international matches as well as the T20 Blast Finals Day, and more recently was also chosen to host the Cricket World Cup 2019, which saw England beat long-term rivals Australia in the semi-finals.
In 1886, Edgbaston hosted its first match against the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club), attracting 3000 spectators over a period of two days. Two months later, more than 6,000 spectators attended to watch the match against Australia. The stadium can now hold a capacity of 25,000 and every seat tends to be filled during a match.
The grounds at Edgbaston are often favourites for swing bowlers due to the grass and moisture in the air, which can be problematic for other international teams but provides great thrills and excitement for all spectating. The atmosphere at Edgbaston is known to be the most hostile in England for any visiting team – which is great for lifting the spirits of England’s players and seems to be a firm favourite for our 2019 World Cup stars. The ground is home to Warwickshire County Cricket Club and is also a prime venue for Test Matches and One Day Internationals.
Visiting cricket fans may also enjoy the indoor cricket centre, onsite museum which displays the club’s collection of memorabilia, and visitor centre. The visitor centre opened in 2011 and charts the history of Warwickshire Country Cricket Club and all the test matches played at Edgbaston. They also have an official charity – The Edgbaston Foundation which aims to use cricket as a unifier and ensure everyone feels they belong to a diverse community.
Now, we look forward to yearly cricket fixtures that are both exciting and exhilarating as we see teams from all over the world compete against each other for coveted titles. In 2019, Edgbaston hosted the Cricket World Cup, including the Semi-Final match and the first Ashes test.
Edgbaston Cricket Ground Redevelopments:
Edgbaston’s primary aim is to become – or at least be a worthy contender in being – one of the best Cricket businesses in the world. The record-breaking Ashes Test match in 2015, which saw England win by 8 wickets significantly helped Edgbaston achiever higher status by putting them on the map for cricket and strengthening links between themselves and visiting teams. They have focused their efforts on five core objectives: Cricket, Community, Customers & Supporters, Venues and People – and hope to produce results that will create innovative change and deliver sustained excellence.
