BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS

Departing from the quayside we shall board our tour vehicles for our journey to the famous Kensington Oval, a venue steeped in history and home to West Indies cricket. Legends including Sir Garfield Sobers, Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Malcolm Marshall and Joel Garner have all played some of their finest games here.

Kensington Oval hosted the first England touring side in 1895; the first combined West Indies side – against MCC – in 1911 and was the scene of West Indies first test match in 1930. During our guided tour we will be invited to take a seat in the media centre and enjoy a brief video on the history of the Oval and some of the famous players before touring the grounds. Then it is off to the brand new Legends Museum for a browse before enjoying tea and pastries with a Barbadian and West Indian cricket legend. We will be able to listen to some of the cricket tales, get autographs and even pose for photos with the cricket legend!
