The CACG: Iconic sport meets cutting-edge technology
The Cooper Associates County Ground (CACG), home of Somerset County Cricket Club, is now also home to cutting edge technology!

- Larger, screens in the County Room, Long Room and 1875 Club
- Enhanced speaker systems and upgraded microphones across key event spaces
- Brand-new screens in the Glastonbury and Yeovil Suites
- Full video-conferencing and wireless presentation capabilities in Glastonbury Suite and Yeovil Suite’’
- ‘Wireless presentation capabilities in the County Room, Long Room and 1875 Club, with a planned Phase 2 installation of full video-conferencing capabilities in the County Room and 1875 Club’
Together, these enhancements ensure clear sound, immersive visuals and seamless connectivity — whether you’re hosting a board meeting, a conference, a large-scale event, a small intimate function or a private celebration.
Designed for business, delivered with expertise
Following the technology upgrade, Sarah Trunks, Director of Venue Operations said: “Pyramid AV fully understood our requirements from the beginning and have provided an excellent service throughout.
“Our three main conference rooms have been significantly upgraded alongside two of our hospitality boxes. The new systems will significantly improve the experience of our match and non-match guests as we look forward to showcasing all the Cooper Associates County Ground has to offer over the coming months.”
Kelly Hinchliffe, Managing Director. Pyramid AV Limited added: “This project is about more than technology – it’s about people, experiences and moments that matter.
