About this workshop
A practical, outdoor workshop covering everything that happens to a cricket ground before the first ball. Participants learn how the square and outfield are prepared through the season, how to measure and mark the creases, how to set out a safe boundary, and how to put up sightscreens, covers and matchday equipment. Much of the session takes place on the ground itself.
