Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has announced that Gullivers Sports Travel (Gullivers) has become the first Official Short Breaks Partner of Lord’s. The multi-year partnership will provide spectators the chance to purchase ticket and accommodation packages in London for all international, T20 Blast and The Hundred match days at Lord’s.

This is the first time Lord’s has provided a travel company with match day tickets to be used in conjunction with an accommodation package. The packages appeal to those looking for an experience that extends beyond the on-field action, partiucuarly those traveling from outside of London. 

The first packages are available via the Gullivers website now and include tickets across the first four days of the Rothesay Men's Ashes Test match between England and Australia next summer. Further packages for the Metro Bank Women’s Ashes ODI and the England v Bangladesh Rothesay Men’s Test match will be available shortly. With high demand in the General Public Ticket Ballot, these packages offer another avenue for those hoping to watch international cricket at Lord’s next year. Packages that include tickets for T20 Blast and The Hundred match days will be available after the 2027 fixture list is confirmed. 

Gullivers Sports Travel is the UK’s leading and longest established sports tour operator. For 50 years, Gullivers has provided sport breaks for spectators of the most significant events in cricket, football, rugby, motorsport and golf. 

Andy Muggleton, Commercial Director at MCC, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Gullivers as our first Official Sports Break Partner ahead of what is going to be a blockbuster Ashes summer in 2027. We are continuing to open up Lord’s to new audiences in innovative ways and this is another first for us. It is an exciting opportunity for cricket supporters who want the full experience of visiting London to watch cricket at Lord’s, combined with the specialist travel support of a trusted operator like Gullivers.”

Neil Salmon, Managing Director of Gullivers Sports Travel said: “We are incredibly proud to become the Lord’s Official Short Breaks Partner. As a business with a long-standing passion for cricket and extensive experience in creating sports travel experiences for fans, partnering with the Home of Cricket feels like a natural fit for Gullivers Sports Travel.

“We understand that attending a major sporting occasion is about far more than the action on the field. It’s the anticipation, the atmosphere, the destination and the memories supporters take home with them. By combining our sports travel expertise and fan-first approach with the heritage and prestige of Lord’s, we look forward to creating outstanding short break experiences for cricket supporters."
