Ecchinswell Village Cricket Match & Tug Of War

There’s no better way to kick off the Bank Holiday than with a classic village get‑together - and this year’s event promises all the charm, competition, and community spirit we love.

We’re bringing everyone together for a friendly cricket match, an inter‑village tug of war, children’s games, delicious treats, and plenty of laughter. Whether you’re taking part or cheering from the sidelines, it’s a day designed for all ages.

🪢 Inter‑Village Tug of War:

• 12:00pm – Tug of War

• Contact Zoe if you’d like to join.

• Open to all enthusiastic pullers - no experience needed, just spirit.

  
  

This will be the last event before our short break, so let’s make it a memorable one.

🏏 Friendly Cricket Match – Players Needed (Age 11+)

After the rope‑pulling dust settles, we head straight into our traditional village cricket match.

• 1:30pm – Cricket Match

• Open to anyone aged 11+

• New players, seasoned players, and “haven’t‑played-in-years” players all welcome.

• 
  

If you’ve ever fancied stepping onto the pitch, this is your moment.

🍰 Food, Drinks & Treats

No village event is complete without something tasty. Throughout the afternoon you’ll find:

• A well‑stocked bar and refreshments

• Teas, cakes, and children’s treats

• A raffle with some brilliant prizes up for grabs

Bring your appetite - and maybe a little luck.

🎈 Fun for the Kids

We’ve planned plenty to keep younger visitors smiling:

• Hook‑a‑duck

• Lucky dip

• Games and activities throughout the day

It’s a perfect family afternoon out.
