WELCOME TO THE KING’S COLLEGE, TAUNTON CRICKET FESTIVALS!
We are thrilled to have you join us for an exciting celebration of cricket, camaraderie, and community, where talented teams come together for a celebration of sportsmanship and competition!
Whether you’re a seasoned player, an enthusiastic supporter, or a first-time visitor, there’s something for everyone at our Cricket Festivals.
A UNIQUE HISTORY
The first ‘West of England’ festival was held at Truro Cricket Club in Cornwall in July 1983. Eventually all these festivals moved to Kings College at Taunton, helped by phenomenal work by the then Head Groundsman, Dennis Breakwell.
INCREDIBLE HERITAGE
2025 marks 42 years of festivals, interrupted only by the pandemic in 2020-2021. Thousands of young cricketers have played at King’s College, Taunton, many of which currently play in the full England team and several playing first class cricket.
ALL ARE WELCOME
We have even had young players who are now in the national teams for the Barbados, Trinidad, South Africa and the Netherlands. This summer there will be over 50 teams from Under 10s up to Under 14s playing this, the greatest of games.
“I just wanted to say a big thank you for hosting the U15 girls’ festival and allowing us to be a part of it. The team had a wonderful time and enjoyed every part of the experience, everything was so well organised and all the staff from the kitchen to the grounds and everyone in between were brilliant. We really felt welcomed and looked after – and for someone like ourselves who are new to this it made everything easy and so we were able to enjoy the experience.”
