The Boughton & Eastwell Cricket Club, formed in 1798 with strong historical roots, is dedicated to fostering a sustainable and inclusive cricketing environment for all ages. As a charitable organisation, its mission is to ensure the long-term vitality of cricket in the community, emphasising values such as teamwork, fitness, fun, and inclusivity.

The club boasts a vibrant cricketing community, comprising:

Two Adult Teams - Offering competitive and friendly matches for various skill levels.

Four Colt Teams - Catering to youth aged 6 to 16, nurturing the next generation of cricket enthusiasts.

The coaching staff includes ECB-qualified coaches committed to providing high-quality training and support. Their goal is to help all players develop their skills and enjoy the game.

The current pavilion of the Boughton & Eastwell Cricket Club is outdated and lacks essential amenities, such as hot water & heating, rendering it unfit for purpose. The club proposes to replace the existing structure with a modern, attractive timber pavilion on the same site. This new facility aims to serve not only the cricket club but also the broader community by providing a space for local clubs, groups, and events.

The existing pavilion, approximately 70 years old, has long been inadequate for the club's needs. Efforts to replace it have been ongoing for several years, with planning permission approved in 2023. Consistent fundraising efforts have so far secured £237,000 of the £300,000 required. The project is scheduled to commence in mid-September 2024, with a goal of completing construction by spring for use in the following summer.
