Edwardian cricket team the Authors, which once featured the likes of PG Wodehouse and Arthur Conan Doyle, has been revived and now stars amongst others today’s best-selling writers Sebastian Faulks (Birdsong), Tom Holland (Rubicon: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Roman Republic) and First Story founder William Fiennes (The Snow Geese). On Sunday 27th May they will be donning pads in battle against the Lords and Commons Cricket Club at Wormsley cricket ground, lovingly created by Sir Paul Getty, a ground described by many as the most beautiful in England.

On what promises to be a fabulous occasion, we will be raising funds for two charities, First Story, which supports and inspires creativity, literacy and talent in challenging secondary schools, and Chance to Shine, the campaign that sets out to bring competitive cricket – and its educational benefits – back to at least a third of the country’s state schools initially over a 10 year period.

Hospitality packages are available for this unique occasion, priced at just £50 per person, or £500 per table of 10. Tickets are also available priced at just £10.00 for adults and £5.00 for concessions.
