Wiltshire Cricket launches Under 9s festival programme for 2026!

2025 was a fantastic year for Under 9s Cricket with 27 clubs competing across 24 different festivals with a record number of matches played across the county. We hope to go even bigger in 2026 ... and here are all of the details of what will be on offer from clubs this summer!

A huge thank you to all those clubs who have confirmed their festival dates for 2026, and to the clubs that have confirmed they will be running an Under 9s section. We havs seen a strady increased in Under 9s Cricket in the past two seasons and with 30 clubs listed as offering U9s cricket this summer we are sure the demand will be high!
