Cricket… but not as you know it. Sixes Social Cricket is set to launch in Leicester city centre in December.
Leicester will become only the fourth city in the UK (behind London, Manchester and Birmingham) to welcome the hugely popular Sixes brand. Combining the age-old game of cricket with top-notch hospitality has seen the brand become a huge hit nationwide.
Re-imagining cricket for the modern socialite, guests can look forward to precision sports technology alongside burgers, sharing plates and wood-fired pizzas. Quality food and drink is at the heart of what Sixes offers, making it a must visit destination with or without the cricket. With a large bar at the heart of the venue, the Sixes team will be shaking up their experimental cocktails, including the Eton mess (Strawberry Pampero Especial rum, ginger foam, meringue, brûléed) and the Bread and Butter (Hennessey VS, brown butter, spiced honey, bread), as well as a full menu of classic cocktails, beer, wine and shakes.
When it comes to the cricket, guests can prepare for adrenaline fuelled batting as you take to the nets placed throughout the venue. From cricketing novices through to the professionals, guests can simply grab a bat, select their level and swing for the boundaries. Sixes’ cutting-edge technology bowls soft cricket balls, with points scored depending on which targets you hit. Sure to bring out everyone’s competitive side, it’s the perfect activity for groups and corporate events as well as an evening out with friends.
Sixes Social Cricket is being brought to Leicester by two local Leicester business partners, Neer Modha and Ravi Mashru. They commented, “We heard about Sixes Social Cricket and visited the London venue. As soon as we played we were hooked. It’s a fun concept, which brings together groups through sport and hospitality. We knew we wanted to bring the venue to Leicester and can’t wait to open our doors in December.”
Sixes Social Cricket will be located on Halford Street in Leicester City Centre, LE1 1TQ (in the former 19 Gale unit) and is due to open in mid-December.
