MCC @ Steephill for 175th Anniversary
Sunday 27th July 2025
Sunday 27 July (11:30)
The third in our special 175th anniversary events, the MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) - probably the world's most famous cricket club, and guardian of the laws of the game - will visit Steephill on Sunday 27 July to play the club's 1st XI.
The game - a classic 50-over per side one-day format - will be underway at 11:30. Lunch will be taken between approximately 2:00-2:30pm and the game is expected to conclude at about 5:00pm.
Bar and refreshments will be available and there is no charge to attend this game.
Very special thanks are due to our match sponsor, Isle of Wight Tomatoes, for their invaluable support.
Parking and other 175 events
If you are bringing a car please note that VCC's own parking on site is strictly limited. So you are recommended either to pay for parking at the neighbouring Ventnor Botanic Gardens or to seek on-street parking between Ventnor Park and Steephill.
Part of Ventnor's 175th Anniversary celebrations, the MCC's visit follows the earlier Evening with Matthew Hoggard (April) and the visit of a Hampshire CCC Representative XI (June). Still to come are the visit of a Lashings World XI on Friday 15 August and the concluding Gala Dinner at the Royal Hotel on Saturday 22 November.
