Worcestershire County Cricket Club is offering £1 tickets for kids for a family fun weekend.

Fans of all ages will be welcomed to New Road for two action-packed Metro Bank One Day Cup fixtures.

Worcestershire Rapids Men take on Derbyshire Falcons on Friday, July 24, before facing Hampshire on Sunday, July 26.

Both matches start at 11am, with adult tickets for Friday’s game against Derbyshire priced at just £10 when booked in advance (£15 on the day).

Sunday’s game against Hampshire is £10 when booked in advance (£15 on the day).

Junior tickets (ages 3-17) are available for just £1.

Away from the action on the pitch, there's plenty to keep the whole family entertained.

Across the weekend, visitors can enjoy a pop-up cricket batting dome, immersive VR cricket headsets, player signing sessions after each match, the chance to meet club mascots and a variety of street food, from pizza, nachos and wraps, to steaks.

Friday and Sunday will also feature circus skills and a bouncy castle, while Sunday will also include historic vehicles and characters from the Black Country Living Museum.

The fun doesn't end this weekend either, as families can plan for another day out over the summer holidays at the club's Blue for Bakes fundraising weekend.

Held in memory of former Worcestershire cricketer Josh Baker, the event begins on New Road on Friday, July 31, as the Men's Rapids take on Middlesex before culminating on Sunday, August 2 with the Women's Rapids taking on Kent on the Josh Baker Oval at Astwood Bank Cricket Club.

Tickets for all events are on sale on the Worcestershire County Cricket Club website.
