The Pavilion, Old Guildfordians Club

The Pavilion at Old Guildfordians Club is a proper cricket and sports venue that's been part of Surrey's sporting life for years. You'll find it hosting local cricket matches throughout the season, along with the occasional community event - the kind of place where you can watch a decent game of cricket on a summer afternoon without the ticket prices of the big grounds.

It's frankly aimed at cricket enthusiasts and local sports fans rather than casual visitors. If you're staying at one of the nearby campsites like Chantry Wood (just 1.7 miles away) or Horsley Camping and Caravanning Club Site a bit further out, and you fancy watching some grassroots cricket, it's worth checking what's on. The atmosphere tends to be relaxed and genuinely local - you'll see club members, families with blankets, the odd dog.

Admission details and opening hours aren't widely publicised online, which is fairly typical for private sports clubs. Your best bet is ringing ahead or checking the club's noticeboard if you're in the area. Match days vary by season, so summer weekends are your best shout.

Honestly, this isn't a destination attraction you'd travel hours for. But if you're already camping in the Surrey Hills and fancy an afternoon watching cricket without the fuss, it's a perfectly pleasant way to spend a few hours. The setting's decent too - you get the feel of proper English village cricket.
