Hire the Cricket Centre

☏ 0207 616 8612 | indoorcricketcentre@lords.org

Welcome back: We’re Re-opening!

MCC is very pleased to be re-opening the Lord’s Indoor Cricket Centre for customers on Monday 17 August, following our closure due to COVID-19.

The Centre will run limited services to allow for physical distancing, with smaller class sizes for our children’s coaching courses, and only alternate nets in use. Unfortunately, at present Kids Parties, Group Matches and Indoor Cricket Centre Packages are not available but we hope to offer these services soon.

In addition, we have introduced a range of measures aimed at keeping our customers and staff safe. These include temperature checks on arrival, regular sanitisation breaks and an enhanced cleaning regime throughout the day and overnight. 

Coaching and net hire

We will also be open for 1-to-1 coaching, as well as normal net hire for groups of up to five players. Bowling machines can be hired with a coach, including our Merlyn spin bowling machine and the Trueman fast bowling machine; both with LED technology for a more realistic experience. 

Batting analysis will be available through PitchVision but distancing guidelines mean that we won’t be able to operate Hawk-eye for bowling analysis from our Performance Analysis Suite quite yet.

Details of services available and how to book are below.

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 look forward to welcoming you back to the Lord’s Indoor Cricket Centre.

There are few better places to hone your skills than Lord's Indoor Cricket Centre at the Home of Cricket.

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!
