Somerset County Cricket Club

We Are Somerset! Somerset County Cricket Club: one of the most successful first-class county cricket clubs of the past 10 years. Deeply rooted in our community since 1875, with a rich reputation for developing talent from across the region. Yet our vision stretches far beyond the local: we have global reach, with circa 900,000 social media followers from around the world and bold ambitions for success on the international field.

Our enviable facilities at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, compliment the outstanding commercial opportunities our sporting profile presents. We are a 365-day venue: alongside hosting 50 days of cricket each year, we deliver numerous non-cricket related events, conferences, concerts and weddings, to name a few, with the determination to make our ground the primary sporting and business destination in the South West.

Our Purpose

To inspire the South West through cricket

Our Vision

The cricket landscape is changing at an unprecedented rate, with both opportunity and jeopardy ahead in equal measures. We now find ourselves needing to transform our business to sustain our proud reputation of competing at the top table of English domestic cricket.

Our vision is to transform our Club over the coming four years to be globally admired as both an elite cricket club and ground and as a venue delivering world-class experiences for all.

This transformation also looks to improve prosperity for the town, county and wider region through the creation of a destination, which attracts visitors from further afield to experience the delights of the South-West.

It is a bold ambition but one necessary to sustain our great Club for future generations.
