Cricket Hospitality: Take on your favourite celebrity broadcaster in our Cricket Commentator’s Challenge!
You know your cricket – but can you compete with the legends of the commentary box? This unique cricket celebrity experience grants your party unprecedented access to the UK’s most iconic grounds, invites you to watch the masters at work – then throws down the gauntlet as you step up to the microphone and find out if you can talk a good game.
Cricket hospitality with a twist
Of course, Gala has plenty of classic cricket hospitality packages where you’ll enjoy the biggest matches in the lap of luxury. But our Cricket Commentator’s Challenge is a little different. Your special day starts as you arrive at your favourite UK ground and take a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium. Then the magic goes up a gear as you step into the press box to find the celebrity commentator of your choice waiting for you.
Whoever you consider the ‘voice of cricket’ – from Henry Blofeld to Jonathan Agnew – prepare to join them for an afternoon of friendly competition. First, you’ll watch your chosen celebrity in action as they commentate on a specially created showreel of classic matches. Then it’s over to you, as every member of your party shows off their patter – and gets pro feedback. Finally, you’re off to a delicious gourmet lunch where you’ll ask your commentator questions about their career – before going home with a recording of all the day’s commentaries as a keepsake.
