Knutsford’s Going BIG for Cricket! ?

Knutsford’s Going BIG for Cricket! ?

Mark Townsend29 Apr - 21:44

Something massive is happening at Toft Cricket Club – and we mean really massive!

Cheshire sculptor Andy Burgess is carving the world’s largest cricket wickets from colossal 11-metre Douglas Fir logs. Standing at a record-breaking 8.5 metres, they’re set to smash the current world record held in Australia!

This ambitious project is part of our £100,000 fundraising drive for a brand-new pavilion – building a space that future generations can be proud of.

These giant stumps are a powerful symbol of the huge role cricket plays here in Knutsford and around the world.

The wickets will be on display from this Thursday - just in time for May Day and will remain up throughout the summer at Toft Cricket Club – and everyone is welcome to come and see them up close!

If you’d like to support this amazing project, you can donate here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-worlds-biggest-wickets

Stay tuned – more updates coming soon! ?
