TO CELEBRATE OUR NEWEST EXHIBITION IN THE MCC MUSEUM, EVOLUTION OF WOMEN’S CRICKET, WE ARE HOSTING A SPECIAL SYMPOSIUM EVENT AT LORD’S ON INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY, TUESDAY 8 MARCH.

Discover a fascinating insight into the inspirational and colourful history of women’s cricket, with acclaimed cricket writer and sports lecturer Professor Rafaelle Nicholson, who will lead a talk about her fascinating book ‘Ladies and Lord’s: A History of Women’s Cricket in Britain‘, and hear from leading women’s cricket experts and legends of the game in a panel discussion led by journalist Isabelle Duncan.

The event includes access to the Evolution of Women’s Cricket exhibition, the first major display of its kind, which contains memorabilia from the inspirational women who pioneered and transformed the game. An original ‘Red’ English Lady Cricket costume from 1888 and Betty Snowball’s trunk used during England’s first tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1934-1935 will be on display, as well as the first-ever women’s World Cup from 1973, which predates the men’s tournament.
