This is the chance to see top cricketers in action against the idyllic backdrop of Cheltenham College and the Cotswold hills. The festival is one of the biggest events in the English cricketing calendar and should not to be missed. With last years festival attracting over 25,000, this year promises to be bigger and better. and for those budding young cricketers out there, there will be the opportunity to get some free coaching.
