COMMERCIAL BROCHURE 2023
WELCOME TO ESSEX CRICKET
We’re an extremely proud Club with a devoted fanbase who we are hugely grateful for.
Our achievements are not made through size of ground or wage budget, but through unrelenting effort and ambition both on and off the pitch.
The Club’s success is underpinned by commercial ventures. Revenue generated by hospitality, sponsorship, events, and the hiring of our spaces support the foundations of our Club and allow us to achieve our lofty goals.
Essex County Cricket Club is a special place with an atmosphere that is unrivalled in County Cricket. Whatever your relationship with the Club, we hope you experience the unique atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
Whether you become a Partner, watch a game from hospitality or attend one of our events, you become part of the wider Essex Cricket family and contribute to the Clubs success and longevity, for which I thank you.
To stay up to date with all things Essex Cricket, sign up to our commercial newsletter: Beyond the Boundary.
