The Club
On the field there is cricket for all ages and abilities, across the Gloucestershire, Wiltshire & Somerset region.
We have one of the largest youth cricket sections in the south west with over 200 young people aged between 6 and 18 registered and are proud to be a fully accredited ‘ECB Focus Club’ and a deliverer of several ECB National Programmes.
Our First XI have been successful both regionally and nationally. We have frequently reached the latter stages of the National Village Knockout Cup, whilst we are now playing at our highest ever league standard following promotion to Premier 2 of the West of England Premier Cricket League in 2019.
Since 2016 our woman's and girls' section has been the fastest growing area of the club, now with multiple teams competing in both indoor and outdoor leagues

The facility will provide the platform for the continued growth of Marshfield CC as the club strives to provide that welcoming environment for the whole community.
The pavilion
Our positive reputation has spread across the region. This is thanks to a number of factors such as; our thriving youth section with a large number of qualified coaches, our regular social events for both the club and wider community, and our well-known (and much envied) cricket teas.
Off the field, the club is well structured in terms of committees with very active volunteer involvement. We have a programme of constant improvement of our facilities – practice nets and equipment, grounds equipment and scorebox/ scoreboard. The next phase of this is the biggest and boldest – the regeneration of the pavilion!
The Project
The proposals seek to replace the existing Cricket Pavilion with a new single storey building that has the ability to serve the wider community of Marshfield as well providing MCC with considerably improved facilities that meet the standards set out by the ECB and Sport England. The scheme received Outline Planning approval in May 2021 with positive feedback and support from both South Gloucestershire and the Parish council.
The scheme responds to the corner siting by cranking the plan by 30°. Not only does this respond to the corner location, it also alleviates the pinch point on the playing surface in a way that a linear plan would not.
The cranked plan will not only focus attention to the playing area, it will offer the chance of informal post-match gatherings on a terrace that widens to almost 5m before tapering back to 2m at either end of the building.
The club’s importance to the village is widely acknowledged; the existing pavilion has a limited visual link to the village. The proposals do NOT want the new scheme to ‘stand out’ excessively or unnecessarily but the proposals subtly reinforce the link between club and village through orientation
Help us build the future
We are raising funds for facilities to to enhance our community cricket club.
Based in the south Cotswolds just north of Bath, Marshfield Cricket Club is at the heart of the community. Founded in 1901, we provide cricket for all ages and abilities. Our women's and girls sections is fast growing! We also host a wide range of community social events.
