Bethesda Cricket Ground

If you’re looking for a proper place to get a cricket match going in Durham, this is honestly one of the better options around. The astro turf patch is a solid touch, and the boundaries are laid out in a way that actually makes for a decent game rather than feeling like you’re just hitting into open chaos. There’s both an upper and lower ground, so you’ve got flexibility depending on how many people show up or what you’re trying to organize. You’ll want to book ahead if you’re bringing a team — it gets used regularly by people who take the sport seriously.
