Last Wednesday, some of Our Place members had a fantastic day at Lord’s Cricket Ground Lord's Cricket Ground as part of the Disability Cricket Festival!
We had the opportunity to watch a visually impaired cricket demonstration, take a tour around the iconic grounds, and get involved in some fun cricket games ourselves.
It was a brilliant day of sport, inclusion and trying something new.
