The Lord's Shop reopens

Date released: 17 April 2009

The Lord’s Shop, situated at the East Gate, has recently undergone major refurbishment and has now reopened to Members and the general public, seven days a week.

The new contemporary design has created a much improved environment for shopping at the Ground and two new and exciting ranges of leisurewear and souvenirs have been launched: The Lord’s - The Home of Cricket range; and the Ashes Urn Collection.

A display area in the newly refitted shop A third, the premium Father Time range, will be available before the start of the West Indies Test Match.

From the end of April, a dedicated cricket equipment shop will be situated at the Grace Gate selling a wide range of bats, balls, protective equipment and accessories as well as cricket clothing. Until then, cricket equipment is available to buy from the Lord’s Shop.

MCC Assistant Secretary and Head of Sales & Marketing, Jon Robinson said: "The newly refurbished Lord's Shop looks great - we're all very proud of it.

Plasma screens with the latest cricket news and action hang over the till area "Lord's is a special place in world cricket and the Lord's Shop staff are second to none with their knowledge and expertise. The new Lord's Shop matches that.

"It's a great place to visit, just to look around at the great new ranges or pick up a souvenir of your trip to Lord's during a match - and you won't miss a thing. Plasma-screen TVs relay all the latest cricket news and action, so shoppers won't miss a single run or wicket."
