Partnership with Cornwall Cricket - New festival to be hosted at Liskeard LC

Date posted 29 Oct 2026

The Community Team have been working with Cornwall Cricket, over the last year, to develop opportunities for people to continue to play cricket, as they age.

Cricketing bodies have created the walking version of the sport for people to enjoy. As we age, life kind of gets in the way, and can mean that people stop playing the sports they enjoy.

This year at Liskeard Leisure Centre we have introduced Walking Cricket sessions Thursday morning 9am-10am, for people over 50 years. The sessions are going well and we have a core group of attendees, and are looking for new people to join.

Early summer members from the Liskeard group attended a Cornwall Cricket organised festival in Truro, which was received with positively.

We also a month ago we also included Walking Cricket in our organised Cornwall Club Games for people aged over 60 years. And it hit some boundaries with those that attended.

So, with the momentum certainly moving the sport forward, we are linking with Cornwall Cricket to provide a walking cricket festival in Liskeard Leisure Centre on Thursday 19th November 10am-12pm.

The session will be open for people to book on using the link below:

We are encouraging those that have a love and enjoyment for the game of cricket, but who may not have played for some time to come along and join in.

The Community Team and Cornwall Cricket are here to welcome you, and ready to show you, you can still play the game.
