Quick Facts

Cricket at Trent Bridge

Trent Bridge is one of the most historic and beloved cricket grounds in the world, staging Test cricket since 1899 and remaining a favourite of players and spectators for its atmosphere, its handsome pavilion and its place in the game's heritage. Home to Nottinghamshire, it regularly hosts England Test matches, one-day internationals and T20s, drawing big crowds to Nottingham, especially for the marquee summer fixtures. Set by the River Trent just across from the city, match days — particularly Tests and internationals — bring large crowds, so getting there and away is easiest with a fixed-price taxi.

A day at Trent Bridge is one of cricket's great pleasures, and Nottingham offers plenty of pubs, food and the riverside for before and after, with the city centre close by. For spectators travelling in from around Nottingham and the East Midlands, or flying into East Midlands Airport, a fixed-price transfer makes the day easy: everyone travels together, no one drives after a day's cricket and refreshment, and an agreed pickup after the close of play beats the crush. For groups especially, having the travel sorted lets you enjoy the day.

One of Cricket's Great Historic Grounds

Appreciating the history and character of Trent Bridge enriches any visit to this celebrated cricket ground. Trent Bridge is one of the oldest and most revered cricket grounds in the world, having hosted first-class cricket since the mid-nineteenth century and Test cricket since 1899, and over that long history it has become one of the game's most beloved venues, cherished by players and spectators alike for its wonderful atmosphere, its handsome and historic pavilion, and its deep sense of cricketing tradition. Home to Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club, the ground regularly stages England's international fixtures — Test matches, one-day internationals and T20s — and is renowned as one of the more characterful and intimate of the major Test venues, where the crowd is close to the action and the atmosphere, particularly during a gripping Test or a big international, is second to none, with the famous Trent Bridge roar a byword among cricket followers. The ground has been sympathetically modernised over the years with excellent facilities and stands while retaining its historic charm and its beautiful old pavilion. Set in West Bridgford just across the River Trent from Nottingham city centre, from which it takes its name, it's well placed and accessible, though match days — especially for Test matches and internationals, which draw large crowds over several days — inevitably make the surrounding area and transport busy. For spectators, a day at Trent Bridge is a long and leisurely occasion, often accompanied by refreshment, which makes not having to drive particularly appealing, and a fixed-price taxi that drops you near the ground in the morning and collects you after the close of play removes the parking and driving worries entirely. Understanding Trent Bridge's status as one of cricket's great historic grounds, with its famous atmosphere and regular international cricket, shows why a visit is such a pleasure, and why reliable transport makes the day out complete.
