Sixes Social Cricket

Sixes Social Cricket is where sporty chaos meets cracking burgers – and it’s brilliant for families looking for something a bit different. You step into a batting net, face a virtual bowler, and try to smash balls at glowing targets to rack up points. It’s super simple, but wildly addictive – and kids aged 5+ can get involved, no cricket experience needed.

The tech tracks your scores on big screens, so siblings can settle scores and parents can prove once and for all who’s the family MVP. There’s proper pub-style food, comfy seating for non-players, and mocktails or cocktails to sip between innings. Teens love it for the competitive buzz and the social media bragging rights. Grown-ups love that it’s all under one roof – and indoors – so no stress about weather or muddy pitches.

With venues in prime London spots like Canary Wharf and Oxford Circus, it’s easy to make a day of it. Add in birthday party bookings, private spaces for groups, and super helpful staff, and you’ve got a winning mix of sport, food and fun. Basically: Sixes takes cricket, turns the pressure down and the volume up – and everyone wins.
