Covid-19 Update

MCC is very pleased to announce that the Lord’s Indoor Cricket Centre is now taking bookings for a limited number of services from Monday 12 April.

The Centre will be running limited sessions to allow for physical distancing, with smaller class sizes for our children’s coaching courses.

Safety is our priority

We have introduced a range of measures aimed at keeping our customers and staff safe during their visit. These include temperature checks on arrival, regular sanitisation breaks and an enhanced cleaning regime throughout the day and overnight. Full details of these measures will be clearly laid out as part of the booking process.

Welcoming you back to the Home of Cricket

In order to be able to reopen we have followed all of the required Government guidelines and advice and we ask that all visitors to the Centre follow our guidance on staying safe and protecting those around you.

We are hopeful that the Centre will be able to offer more courses in the near future. We are currently waiting for further confirmation on what other services that we can offer, and we will update our customers in due course.

We are delighted to be open again and look forward to welcoming you back to the Lord’s Indoor Cricket Centre.

The Indoor Cricket Centre has eight indoor nets, with 'SuperGrasse' playing surface. Nets can be booked for practice all year round.

All nets have shock absorbers at the bowling crease to protect the bowlers from injury, in additon, the fast bowling lanes have shock absorbers from the start of the runup.

The Indoor Cricket Centre has a 'breathable' design, making it ideal to allow sunlight (but no hard shadows due to special sails in the roof) and natural air flowing throughout the building - ideal for practice all year round!
