Why is The Hundred a hospitality hit?

The Hundred burst onto the cricket scene four years ago, ripping up the rulebook with a fresh, fast-paced format. Each team faces 100 balls, making it even shorter and more energetic than T20 cricket. 

But it’s not just the action on the pitch that makes it special. Matches are designed as full-scale entertainment events, complete with fireworks, music, dancers, player walk-ons and a lively festival atmosphere. 

It’s cricket made for everyone, whether you’re a die-hard fan, a complete newbie or fancy a family night out with the kids. With back-to-back games (women’s first, followed by the men’s), plus some of the best players in the world on show, The Hundred has redefined what a night out at the cricket can be. 

The 2025 season so far 

This year’s edition got underway on 5th August and wraps up at the end of the month with the final at Lord’s. And with just over a week to go, there’s been plenty of drama. 

In the women’s competition, Southern Brave have been the standout story. After finishing bottom last year with just a single win, they’ve bounced back in style, winning all six of their matches so far. Driven by superb performances from all-rounders Sophie Devine and Lauren Bell, they’ve already secured their place in the final. 

They’re set to face one of Northern Superchargers, Manchester Originals or London Spirit, who are all level on 16 points with two games to play. At the other end of the table, it’s been a summer to forget for 2024 finalists Welsh Fire, who are rock-bottom having slumped to five straight defeats. 

In the men’s competition, Oval Invincibles have carried on where they left off last season as they chase a third successive title. They currently sit top of the table with five wins from six games, having opened their campaign with a commanding six-wicket victory over London Spirit at Lord’s. 

Trent Rockets and Northern Superchargers currently look best placed to join them in the knockout stages, though Southern Brave could still force their way in with two matches remaining. 

Hospitality at The Hundred 

The Hundred is perfectly timed for summer and while the British weather can be unpredictable, guests are always guaranteed great food, flowing drinks and a lively atmosphere. It’s ideal for any occasion, whether you’re hosting clients, rewarding colleagues or simply enjoying a special night out with family and friends. 

Unlike longer formats, The Hundred is built for entertainment. With fast scoring, big hitting, and crowd-friendly energy, it creates the perfect backdrop for a social evening. And with two matches for the price of one, you can enjoy double the action and a full evening of fun. 

We provide bespoke hospitality packages for every fixture at both Lord’s and The Oval, offering the best seats in the house and unforgettable experiences for you and your guests. 

For matches at Lord’s, you can make the most of a box for up to 18 guests, with unrivalled views of the action, a premium buffet menu, a complimentary bar and a personal suite host. Meanwhile, those joining us at The Oval can enjoy an exclusive garden area, a complimentary bar and a delicious BBQ menu.
