Home to Beckington Cricket Club. The club is actually one of the oldest established in the county and has original records and scoresheets dating back to 1884. To begin with, the club played matches on rented grounds nearer the village centre, but found themselves without a venue in 1926, resulting in the complete loss of a season's play. The club gathered the funds to buy its own wicket and this is the place they still use.
