Edgbaston Cricket Ground
About
Edgbaston Cricket Ground, affectionately known as the Home of the Bears, is a world‑class stadium nestled in the heart of Birmingham. Since its opening in 1885, the venue has hosted a range of iconic cricket fixtures – from tense Test battles to dramatic One Day Internationals and the high‑energy T20 Blast. The expansive 40‑acre complex boasts state‑of‑the‑art facilities, including modern stands, floodlights, a premier hospitality terrace, and a world‑class parking and transport hub that links easily to major road and rail networks. Visitors can revel in the historic pitch, explore the interactive visitor centre, and enjoy a plethora of food, drink and souvenir options throughout the venue. Whether you’re a die‑hard cricket fan, a family looking for a day out, or simply seeking first‑class transport experience, Edgbaston delivers unforgettable moments and unmatched hospitality. The stadium is open to match days from sunset to late evening, and non‑match day visitors are welcome in the open grounds and during community events. For the best experience, book tickets in advance via the official ticketing partner, Seat Unique, or the Club’s own online ticket portal. With a blend of rich history, modern convenience, and championship‑level pitch quality, Edgbaston continues to captivate locals and international fans alike.
