Aigburth Cricket Ground

Story

Aigburth Cricket Ground in Liverpool, England, is the home of Liverpool Cricket Club. The club was founded in 1807 and is the oldest amateur sports club in Merseyside. The ground hosted its maiden first-class cricket match in 1881, a fixture between Lancashire and Cambridge University.Designed by Thomas Harnett Harrison and built in 1880, the pavilion is the oldest at a first-class cricket ground. The first Women's Cricket World Cup was held in England in 1973. During the tournament Aigburth hosted its only Women's One Day International, a match between International XI Women and Trinidad and Tobago Women. The West Indies cricket team toured England in 1984 and played a tour match against Lancashire at Aigburth. A 7,633-strong crowd watched the match. Lancashire lost by 56 runs, and Gordon Greenidge scored 186 while opening the batting. The innings was the second of three one-day centuries scored at the ground and remains the highest score in the format at Aigburth, and Greenidge's highest score.While Old Trafford Cricket Ground was undergoing a renovation in 2011, Lancashire played more cricket at Aigburth, playing five matches at the ground. The move away from Old Trafford coincided with Lancashire winning the County Championship for the first time since 1950, and Lancashire won four out of their six matches at Aigburth. The ground has hosted 192 first-class matches and 16 List A matches.

Lovely place, lovely people, great space
Held my baby shower here and it is an amazing venue! The staff were amazing from catering, bar staff and admin. A Big Thank you to Sue and the Catering Team at A La Carte Catering for the fantastic afternoon tea. The team couldn’t do enough for us and ensuring all dietary requirements were met. Everyone commented on how delicious and fresh the food was particularly the home made sausage rolls. We all had an amazing day, thank you
We had our wedding at the LCC, It was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend a twilight wedding. Everything went very smoothly, and the team were amazing. They did everything we asked for. Bev and Steve ensured the room was set up as we requested, communication was great. Steve the toast master was amazing! Andy oversaw everything and ensured that the ceremony/ reception ran smoothly, We chose the country kitchen for our evening buffet and Russel did a great job, all the guests commented on how good the food was. Martin the DJ also was great on the night, open to requests and performed some special effects for our wedding dance. Well done all the team.
New paddle courts are nice but not well ruled. Wanted to play today in court 3,other kids were using it at the same time and they didn't want to leave acting very rude and disrespectful. There was nobody from the staff on site to assist so we lost the money.
Had my husbands wake here. Dan was most helpful as were Sue Metcalfe catering the buffet was lovely the team worked hard.Tom and all the bar staff all contributed to a wonderful wake for my husband nothing was too much trouble. Dan sorted the background music, also a screen to share with friends and family all the occasions we shared. The room was decorated for the occasion vey tastefully.
Just popped in to check out the party space for hire, there was a wedding on so we could see the various rooms they use to hold functions. Fantastic building with great views over the cricket pitch and would be fab on a clear sunny day for a celebration.
