Experience the thrill of cricket at the home of Kent County Cricket Club. 

Head to the Spitfire Ground to watch county, national and international matches during the jam-packed season. The ground also hosts incredible events year round, from live concerts to fireworks displays, so check their events for news of what's coming up.

For groups, the ground offers both indoor and outdoor facilities so come rain or shine you won’t be trapped on a sticky wicket. The indoor cricket school has five lanes with excellent lighting, a ‘true’ surface and room for a longer run up than traditional venues. But whether you’re a pro Cricketer or a novice to the sport, players of all abilities are encouraged and catered for. If you’re eager for more activity, outside at The County Ground there is a 3G AstroTurf football pitch, two tennis courts and a basketball court, all with floodlights. After your fitness fix you are welcomed to enjoy your own picnic and relax in the charming surroundings.
