2025 ANNUAL CHURCH SERVICE

The 2025 Somerset CCC annual Church Service will be taking place at the Cooper Associates County Ground on Sunday August 17th ahead of our Metro Bank One Day Cup match against Warwickshire.

This match will also see us hosting our 150th birthday party!

Gates will open at 9:20am for those wishing to attend the service, which will begin at 9:30am.

Those attending the service are asked to enter via the Brian Rose Gates.

The speaker this year is Rev. Jonathan Philpott who is Mission Development Advisor for the Diocese of Bath and Wells and who also plays club cricket in Somerset (alongside his son).

Club Chaplain Rob Walrond said: “It’s wonderful to be having the Annual Cricket service at the beginning of the day celebrating 150 years of Somerset CCC, and to be doing so with members of St. James’ Church which has been physically connected to the boundary of the Club through all this time. It will be a Service giving thanks for everything that Somerset Cricket has been and will continue to be.”

Those attending the service will sit on Gimblett’s Hill.

We hope that as many Somerset Members and supporters as possible will come along and help to make this another special occasion.

Somerset CCC Memberships or matchday tickets are required to gain entry to the church service.
