Two clubs share the ground here, the villages of Burnsall and Hartlington.
The teams are made up from mainly farmers, so they only play evening league games (followed by supper in the Red Lion pub). Despite only playing evening cricket they have for the past twelve years gone on “tour” to Bellingham in Northumberland. There is a seven-a-side tournament in September, which includes some of the nearby villages including Bardens and Appletreewick.
This ground was used the site of the fête in the Calendar Girls film, and many of the players and their families were used as extras.
Jeremy Padgett owns the field and keeps the ground in order. There is no pavillion!
