    This is the best cricket ground in the country. I've been to all the major ones including Lords, nowhere comes close to Edgbaston for me. Been here to watch Warwickshire, Birmingham Bears, and many Tests and International games, the atmosphere is incredible.

    First time i had been to watch a cricket match. Went with 3 other mates and it was really good. The atmosphere there is brilliant. Bar and food cue’s weren’t too bad and went down quickly. I will definitely be going again. The actual ground its self is good quite a nice building. 🏏

    Great stadium for cricket matches T20 finals, difficulty getting in on match day large queues but good facilities inside all roads closed so getting a taxi after game you have to walk to we’re the road is open and it’s very busy pre order if possible. Great atmosphere but more big screens required .

    Good fun watching the Cricket match. Nice stadium with lots of food and drink options. Reasonable facilities. Has a Multi Faith Room. The staff was extremely helpful, as we had a disabled / elderly member with us. Team Leader Sukhi really went out of her way to help us, beyond expectations. Can't thank her enough!!

    Edgbaston is our local major cricket stadium and very different to smaller grounds like New Road. The place and area are on the way to becoming a first class venue. We generally sit in the Family or South Stand Lower. Parking can be hit and miss but usually find somewhere nearby. Entry depends on how good the app is working. Prices for the quality of drinks and food can make for quite an expensive day. Best to take some bits. Avoid the pizza etc as its usually burnt/poor quality. All seats offer a decent view. Back of the Eric Hollies is great for the banter and atmosphere. The facilities are pretty decent though and planned to get even better with a hotel etc and makes for a good day or night relaxing at the cricket.

    One of the most vibrant cricket grounds in England. The atmosphere and vibe is unmatchable. A pillarless view from most part of the stands!

    Went to watch Eng v India in T20. Great experience all round. Superb atmosphere with very vocal Indian support. Food tasted good and was well served with no long queues. Great seats out of the sun but with great views of the wicket. Am returning for. Hundred match in a couple of weeks.

    First cricket match at Edgbaston Stadium, Edgbaston Road, Birmingham, B5 7QU, Warwickshire, England took place in 1886 and cricket has been played there ever since. It's both the permanent home ground of Warwickshire County Cricket Club and a regular venue for prestigious cricketing events including England International Test Matches. Edgbaston Stadium has consistently been at the forefront of progressive development in its sporting & spectator facilities. For example, it held the first competitive floodlit day/night cricket match in Britain in 1997. In a later ground enhancement, they erected five 45m cantilever floodlight masts with a bespoke “e” shaped headframe design, unveiled in 2011.

    Excellent ground. Good views from my seat. Drinks and food are extortionate but you'd expect that anyway. Quick entrance after getting searched. Great stadium.

    The stadium is fantastic and they've done loads over the years to upgrade and improve. Seats are a touch narrow for wide shoulders but apart from that, and it's very good. On my last visit, the weather was terrible, England were terrible (but did go on to beat India) and I'm afraid the stewarding when people were trying to leave was poor

    Always great to be here and it is a truly fantastic staffed stadium. Hundreds of volunteers are here during matches that help people find their seats super quick. Love the vibe and the choice of food it has to offer. The diversity is fantatic

  • 5/5 Sandeep B. 1 year ago on Google
    We went for a Cricket match between India Pakistan. The queues were quite long but moved quickly. The people with the ticket scanners, bag searches and the body scanners very friendly and very polite. There were people on hand to show us where our seats were. Loved the day. Thank you to Edgbaston staff and volunteers for making it special. Very busy access to the ground ran smoothly even with the inevitable bag checks. There are numerous opportunities to buy food and drink to suit everyone’s needs and fear not there’s no chance of supplies running out! Our seats were in row C of the Stanley Barnes section from where we had a fantastic view. There was plenty of legroom, unrestricted view and easy access. We had a large scoreboard behind to one side and large screen to the other where we could watch action replays and see the DRS reviews.

    A very famous cricket ground with plenty of epic games to remember. The staff are very diverse so felt comfortable attending an Ashes test. Seats are not the most comfortable ones. Plenty of food and drink options available. The merchandise is very expensive to buy. Easily accessible from park & ride with regular buses on match days. Would definitely go back and watch more matches in the future.

    Visited on a showcase event for the conference and event facilities and have been for several events in the past also. It is a great venue, close to transport links as well as being a major part of Birmingham's sporting and historic scene. Perfect for all event sizes as well as for a day or evening watching cricket!

  • 5/5 Craig P. 4 years ago on Google
    This stadium is superb. The atmosphere is second to none. Test Matches are particularly well organised with a wide selection of good and drink in offer. Recent developments have seen Vegan, vegetarian and Halal food on offer. There are a number of price points available for seating to cater for the needs of particular types if customers. The a stewards are if a high standard with effective training been given and followed. Security is taken seriously with bad searches, ample levels of stewards to complement the Police. Armed Police Officers are also in attendance. Car parking and road closures are in place to facilitate easier access to the ground. This is World class test match venue.

    One of the most beautiful cricket grounds of UK. I attended many games at this ground and also attended dinner with the great Brain Lara and Waqar Younis. Edgbaston was the first English ground outside Lord's to host a major international one-day tournament final when it hosted the ICC Champions Trophy final in 2013. With permanent seating for approximately 25,000 spectators, it is the fourth-largest cricketing venue in England, after Lord's, Old Trafford and The Oval. 👍🏼

    A fabulous stadium and what a wonderful T20 blast finals day. Rain interrupted but fantastic work from the ground staff kept the day moving. Plenty of beer stations but too few coffee shops and not any vegan food options worth talking about.

  • 5/5 Rachel D. 3 years ago on Google
    Always great place to watch the cricket when spectators are allowed in!

  • 5/5 H A. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice place

  • 5/5 Nicky S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great cricket venue. Superb atmosphere - England are playing.

  • 3/5 Vageesh 1 year ago on Google
    Felt like everything was overpriced for the experience on offer. Have been to other test cricket matches which were reasonably priced and offered better experience. This stadium just looked a bit old for the price and the food and beverage stalls sell stuff for a fortune which doesn't even taste that good. Overall, it was just an average experience.

  • 5/5 sourav n. 4 years ago on Google
    A wonderful picturesque stadium, the seats are comfortable. It was quite breezy and the overall experience of watching a match from the stadium is incredible.

  • 5/5 Janet P. 1 year ago on Google
    T20 women's Commonwealth games match. What a brilliant day out. Edgbaston was great, lots of amenities and the volunteers and staff were friendly and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Kashif A. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing cricket stadium... decent size to host 25k spectators, quite quick entry as they have multiple entry points, plenty of food options, most of them takes debt credit cards, though cash machine available as well, plenty of toilet facilities around the ground... parking is an issue on match day, loads of parking outside in one mile radius though have to pay... different rates.. however, at min walking distance there are plenty of free parking spaces in streets around.. try to reach early and take advantage of parking free... plus getting out quick

  • 4/5 Sandra G. 1 year ago on Google
    A great cricket ground. We watched England vs India 🏏 Could have done with some marshals at the entrance to direct people. But apart from that plenty of eateries, bars & toilets.

  • 5/5 Aaron K. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best crickets arenas around. I was amazed how big it is and atmosphere there is amazing experience. I would love to come back again to see a good game

  • 4/5 Ash O. 10 months ago on Google
    This was the venue for my organisation's annual conference. It was easy to get to from the city centre. It's a nice looking building and spacious. The toilets were clean and l had a lovely time in this place. I would use it for cricket if teams were playing that l was a fan of. Overall l recommended this place for events especially due to It's central location. Parking is available and there's plenty of it.

  • 5/5 Kasim K. 3 years ago on Google
    Been there a few times, good seating positions around the ground, great range of facilities. Definitely one to consider if you want to go to a cricket match.

  • 5/5 richjbarnett 3 years ago on Google
    We went to a works Christmas do here. It could only be described as terrible. The highlight was when one person took a poo in the middle of the dance floor. Such class. We left at this point.

  • 5/5 Kapo T. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 ACE J. 7 months ago on Google
    A Very Historical ground... We had a great time, although our home team was not playing.. still we enjoyed the GAME.. Excellent atmosphere & weather for Cricket ...

  • 5/5 Alfie K. 8 months ago on Google
    Quick search before entering the stadium; staff are on hand to scan tickets and show you to your seat. All seats have a great view; the hollies especially as the atmosphere is amazing. Plenty of toilets around and bars located around for drink refills. Great place to watch the Oval Invincibles vs Birmingham Pheonix, and met England star Ollie pope afterwards!

  • 4/5 Ken A. 8 months ago on Google
    An enjoyable time watching the women's and men's ( 100 ) cricket. There was entertainment for all ,young or old , in fact some were up to making their own!!!. I hate to admit it but it's been some time since I've visited the ground and the board have certainly turned it into a venue worth visiting.

    Food was ok once we got it. But we had to wait 45mins for food despite booking. There seemed to be 1 waitress doing food service and 1 doing drinks. Suffice to say we won't be going again
