📍 Lord’s | Tickets £20

This Saturday 16th May is County Cricket Day. Inspired by football’s Non-League Day, it’s a fan-led initiative to encourage attendance at county matches. So if you’re a cricket fan Middlesex would love your support at Lord’s this weekend, as would Surrey Women for their game vs Lancashire at the Kia Oval!

Chelsea vs Man United at Stamford Bridge, 1pm (tickets from £17).
