Tickets on sale for Where Cricket Meets… Sam Allardyce

The Sussex Cricket Foundation is proud to present its annual flagship fundraising event.

Tickets are on sale now for Where Cricket Meets…Sam Allardyce – an afternoon of hilarious stories and anecdotes from the former Bolton, West Ham and England football manager.

As well as managing multiple Premier League football clubs and the England national team, Allardyce’s playing career spanned 21 years and included stints at Bolton Millwall and Preston North End. 

Being held at the Hilton Brighton Metropole, the afternoon will include a Q&A discussion with ‘Big Sam’ alongside a three-course lunch and drinks, as well as a chance to win some amazing prizes in a charity auction and raffle. 

The occasion is a major fundraising event for the Sussex Cricket Foundation, with all proceeds going to help support their mission to actively change lives through cricket across the community. 

The afternoon will be sponsored by Sutton Winson, corporate partner of Sussex Cricket. Their Director, Richard Morley, is delighted to be supporting such an important event. He said: “Sutton Winson is proud to be the headline sponsor for ‘Where Cricket Meets…Sam Allardyce’ and to continue a long-standing partnership with the Sussex Cricket Foundation.

“Sutton Winson looks forward to supporting SCF and all the great work being undertaken to ensure Cricket is available for all in the community.”

Last year’s event, with former England footballing legend Glen Hoddle, raised in excess of £40,000, providing vital funds for projects and initiatives across the county. 

Gary Wallis-Tayler, Community Cricket Director, added: “We are delighted to welcome Sam to Sussex this year to help support the Sussex Cricket Foundation.

“This is an important event as we look to raise significant funds to be able to continue growing the game and making the game as accessible as possible for all.

“We hope people are able to support us and learn more about what the Foundation does across the County.”

If you’re looking for a social event for you and your colleagues this spring, why not secure a table and spend an afternoon with Sam Allardyce, raising important funds for local projects in Sussex? The event is taking place on Friday, March 31.
