UK Inbound Cricket Tours
When we started trading in 1993 the name ‘Shire Sports Tours’ was chosen to reflect sporting tours throughout the ‘Shires’ of England, Scotland and Wales. We’ve come a long way since then and now send teams all over the globe but we’ve not forgotten our roots, our homeland tours still feature heavily in our list of venues.
So if you’re thinking of visiting the UK from abroad on a cricketing tour we invite you to come and enjoy our wonderful country, regarded by many as the home of cricket.
Whether you’re new to the game of cricket and wish to play more social games or you’re a serious team looking for some stiff opposition we’ll arrange matches to suit. Nowhere in the world will you find a greater concentration of cricket grounds - from our charming village greens steeped in history to First Class cricket grounds with facilities to match, the UK offers everything a visiting cricket team could dream of.
And it doesn’t end with the cricket! Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to see we’ll fix it - our magnificent towns and cities and the rich landscape which surrounds them offer everything a traveller could possibly want. London, Oxford, Cardiff, Chester, York, Edinburgh or anywhere in between – your tour, your way!
Some examples of our hotels can be found by clicking around the map but we can arrange higher or lower standards of accommodation depending on your budget. Simply send us your requirements and if you like we’ll call you back to talk through your requirements - wherever you are in the world and at a time that suits you.
