🌟 Tomorrow’s the Day! 🌟

Join us at New Road from 3:00pm for Mistley CC’s very first Cricket, Food & Music Festival! 🏏🍔🎶

We’ve got an amazing lineup of food vendors serving everything from Indian, Thai and BBQ favourites to sweet treats, speciality coffees, waffles and ice cream. 🍛🌭🧇🍦
🍻 Our bar will be open until 11:00pm with a great selection of beers, wines, spirits, soft drinks and snacks.

🎵 Enjoy four live music acts throughout the afternoon and evening, including
Slap man Dave playing Country Rockabilly
Del Fox playing covers and Rock classics
Gorgeous Trash playing indie
DJ Kemzy to finish the night in style.

🔍 We’re also a stop on the Mysteries of Mistley Trail, so don’t forget to bring your trail card for a stamp.

As this is a community event, we’re expecting more visitors than on a normal match day. Please be patient with our fantastic volunteers if things get busy—they’re giving up their time to help make the event a success.

🚗 Please follow all parking signage, as arrangements will differ from a regular cricket day.

📍 The event area is located in the bowls club car park directly behind the New Road ground. While every precaution has been taken, please be aware that the occasional cricket ball may reach areas close to the event site.

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped organise and support the festival, and to everyone coming along. We can’t wait to welcome you all for a fantastic day and evening of cricket, food and music!
See you tomorrow! 🎉🏏🍻🎶
