Cornwall Cricket Board is thrilled to announce its second LGBTQ+ cricket event, set to take place on Friday, 7th February 2025. Building on the success of the inaugural event held in November, this initiative is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and is part of a broader series celebrating inclusivity, diversity, and the joy of cricket within the local LGBTQ+ community and beyond.

Glow in the Dark Cricket brings an electrifying twist to the traditional game. Under the brilliance of UV lighting, players will wield fluorescent bats, balls, and accessories, creating a visually spectacular experience. This dynamic reimagining of the sport combines the thrill of cricket with the vibrant energy of neon, ensuring an evening filled with fun, action, and community connection.

Open to all, regardless of skill level or experience, the event aims to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for participants to enjoy cricket in a safe and inclusive space.

Kellie Williams, Cornwall Cricket Board's Community Engagement Lead, said: “I’m looking forward to welcoming people from all backgrounds for an evening of fun, music and socialising! Whether you’re an experienced player, or looking to try cricket for the first time, everyone's welcome!”

Joe Skinner, Managing Director of Cornwall Cricket Board, added: Cricket welcomes people from all backgrounds and we are delighted to provide opportunities to play cricket in such a fun and unique environment. This is about fun in a safe space, lots of music, the glow in the dark equipment and of course bright clothing, cricket is the vehicle for having fun. It doesn’t matter how you bowl or bat, come and have a go!

Whether you’re a seasoned cricketer or looking for a unique and fun evening, this event promises an unforgettable experience. Attendees are encouraged to wear their brightest neon gear and prepare for a night of glowing excitement, laughter, and cricket!
