About The Ashes 2027 — Trent Bridge (Nottingham)

A Test match against Australia draws crowds who plan around the whole day, from the first ball to the last hour of shifting shadows. Play runs across the full day, so many spectators arrive early and settle in for the long haul, pints and scorecards in hand.

Where to stay nearby

Sheffield is further out at 52km but has by far the largest number of hotels listed, so it's worth considering if you don't mind a longer drive or train journey each day of the match.

History

The Ashes is cricket's oldest and most storied rivalry, contested by England and Australia since 1882, when a mock obituary in a London newspaper mourned the death of English cricket and joked that the body would be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia; the tiny terracotta urn that gave the contest its name is kept at Lord's.

Trent Bridge in Nottingham, home of Nottinghamshire since 1838, is one of the game's grand old grounds and staged its first Test in 1899. Set close to the River Trent, it has a reputation as a bowler's ground on a helpful morning, and it produced one of the most astonishing Ashes days of the modern era in 2015, when Stuart Broad took eight wickets for fifteen runs and Australia were bowled out for sixty before lunch. A Test here brings the city to a standstill and fills the surrounding pubs and stands with expectant crowds.
