Accessibility

As we are constantly striving to improve our standards, facilities and attitudes accordingly, we have launched a non-visible disability wristband.

Staff can then support the individual in the appropriate way.

If you require a wristband, please collect it from the Club’s Accessibility Officer, Theresa Peters, upon arrival at the main gate of Guildford or email accessibility@surreycricket.com and one will be posted to you.

For the 2025 season, in line with our sustainability goals, the Club have decided that there will be a limited number of scorecards available for each domestic fixture. There will also be a version available to download and print at home should Members wish to.

No scorecards will be made available for T20 fixtures.
