Stay, relax and make a day of it!
It's time to unwind and enjoy a fantastic afternoon in the vicinity of Ampthill Town Cricket Club.
It’s all about good food, live music, local businesses and giving families a reason to stick around, enjoy the sunshine and support the cause.
There will be plenty more to get involved in throughout the afternoon, from entertainment to fundraising activities, including our charity raffle, helping us raise money for our chosen charities.
You are also very welcome to bring a picnic and your own alcohol too.
Live music
Live music, courtesy of Ampthill Music, will fill the air, featuring incredible local bands like Chalk and Cheese (& friends) and Aftertone. Whether you’re discovering new favourites or singing along to well-loved covers, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
