Where Cricket Meets...

Ashes Lunch with Melinda Farrell & Phil Walker

Join us for an unmissable fundraising Ashes Lunch on Wednesday 10th September at The 1st Central County Ground, featuring cricket experts Melinda Farrell and Phil Walker - in aid of the Sussex Cricket Foundation.

Melinda, an acclaimed Australian sports journalist and broadcaster, has covered international cricket for over a decade, notably with ESPNcricinfo, BBC and The Guardian, bringing her dynamic insights and passion for the game. 

Phil, editor-in-chief of Wisden Cricket Monthly and co-author of LARA: The England Chronicles, offers unparalleled analysis from his extensive career in cricket journalism. 

Savour a delicious 3-course meal as they stoke the flames for the Ashes down under this winter; by unpacking the drama, rivalries and key moments of 'cricket's oldest rivalry'. Both will reveal their Ashes all-time XIs, colourful stories from their careers and host an audience Q&A.

Plus, don’t miss the game of 'Heads & Tails' and exciting fundraising auction, featuring exclusive cricket memorabilia and experiences, with proceeds supporting the Sussex Cricket Foundation. A must for all cricket fans and a chance to contribute to a great cause!
