Stuart Broad and Harry Gurney are the co-owners of The Cat and Wickets Pub Company which currently comprises two premium gastro pubs in Leicestershire, The Griffin Inn in Swithland and The Tap & Run in Upper Broughton.
Harry Gurney, Managing Director at The Cat & Wickets Pub Company, commented: “This event will be a fantastic way to raise money for the Lord’s Taverners, a charity that does marvellous work to empower and positively impact the lives of young people facing the challenges of inequality through cricket. We are really excited to welcome guests to enjoy an evening with Stuart Broad, myself and a whole host of cricket legends.
Stuart Broad added: “This is a chance for guests to experience a truly memorable evening before the England Men’s Test match returns to Trent Bridge. Harry and I can’t wait to meet guests, enjoy a fantastic discussion about the upcoming Test match and support a brilliant charity in the process. It’s going to be a great night!
Kerri Frost, Regional Engagement Manager at the Lord’s Taverners, says: “We are very grateful to Stuart and Harry for hosting this event at their pub, the Tap & Run. It’s such a wonderful space for us to create the perfect Eve of Test dinner, it’s going to be a great evening, and with Toby Tarrant compering, lots of fun too.”
Money raised during the event will continue to support the work of the Lord’s Taverners in the East Midlands, providing free community cricket programmes for young people with a disability and from disadvantaged communities.
