Birmingham's Festival of Cricket
Cricket fans rejoice as the 2010 Summer Festival of Cricket gets set to take Birmingham by storm for yet another summer of the beautiful game. With a whole range of games taking place pitting a variety of countries from around the world together, it's time to get serious and find out which nation is truly the best at cricket. Will England prevail or will Australia, India or South Africa take the lead this time around? Only time will tell - and we'll find out in August!
Taking place at Edgbaston, the festival incorporates a wealth of exciting cricket games that are sure to sate even the biggest cricket fan's appetite. Over a period of weeks, competitors will be whittled down during a series of games that will test their mettle against international countries and powerful opponents.
What's more, with the chance to save cash on booking tickets early, as well as the opportunity to buy passes for all the games your favourite team will be playing, you can be sure you'll be attending the games you want to at the best prices possible. This year a competition is running that is giving ticketholders the chance to win a whopping 10,000.
Whatever country you're supporting, you can still feel guaranteed of a good time at this well-attended festival. Look forward to two whole months of professional cricket, as well as the chance to explore the cultural city of Birmingham while you're visiting, and make the most of the British summer as you enjoy watching games in the glorious sunshine, complete with refreshments keeping you cool and satisfied.
Of course, the festival's location is one of the best things about it. When you're not taking in an intense game, you can check out what's on offer in Birmingham and make the most of your trip. The city is packed with bars, restaurants, shops and attractions that'll easily keep you occupied while you wait for your team's next play, and you'll always be close to somewhere great to go for a filling meal once the game's over.
Even better, if you're in the mood for celebratory or consolation drinks, Birmingham has much to offer - and you'll easily find a friendly watering hole near most Birmingham hotels so you won't have too far to go once you're ready for bed.
The festival takes place during July and August and tickets can be purchased online - so why not book a few games, a bed and a flight and make a holiday of it?
