Honouring 130 years of cricketing heritage with a joyful day of festivities inspired by the 3rd Earl of Sheffield.
Join us for a fun filled day out as we celebrate the legacy of Henry North Holroyd, the 3rd Earl of Sheffield. Known for his love of cricket, hospitality, and lively gatherings, the Earl turned Sheffield Park into a place of connection and enjoyment. This year marks 130 years since the famous 1896 Australian cricket match hosted on the estate, and the Earl's Extravagant Party brings that spirit back to life with a mix of sport, music, food, and family fun, all set against the beautiful backdrop of the gardens.
Enjoy an anniversary cricket match played by the Armadillo's Cricket Club, water rockets with the Seven Sister Astronomy Group, live music and performances, family friendly games and crafts, walks and talks, and more!
This event is free but normal admission fees apply.
