Langtons Cricket Club

Cricket clubs don't usually make travel itineraries, but Langtons near Market Harborough is worth knowing about if you're staying at one of the nearby glamping sites and fancy a proper afternoon out. It's a traditional village club - the kind where you can actually watch a match without paying through the nose, grab a drink from the clubhouse, and pretend you understand what's happening when someone shouts 'leg before wicket'.

The ground itself is pleasant enough, very English in that slightly ramshackle way - decent views from the boundary, and the sort of place where families won't feel out of place on a summer weekend. You're looking at cricket from May through September mainly, so timing matters. Saturday and Sunday fixtures draw reasonable crowds, though nothing rammed. Kids either get cricket or they don't - some will be glued to it for hours, others bored after twenty minutes. Worth ringing ahead to check what's on before you plan your day around it.

What works best is combining it with a weekend stay at Hidden Hideaway Glamping, Rural Relaxing, or one of the other sites within a few miles. It breaks up a lazy park break nicely - grab some lunch, settle into a deckchair, and spend an afternoon without the corporate nonsense of county cricket grounds. Admission's usually free for club matches, though expect to pay a quid or two for a cuppa. Not essential, but a solid local option if the weather's decent and you want something low-key to do.
