Fenner's is Cambridge University Cricket Club's ground.

History

Fenner's has hosted first-class cricket since 1848. The ground was established on a former cherry orchard leased for the purpose by Francis Fenner, after whom the ground is named.[1][2]

Fenner's is also home to the Cambridge MCC University side, a partnership between the University of Cambridge, Anglia Ruskin University and the Marylebone Cricket Club established ahead of the 2010 season.

Facilities

As well as the cricket ground, there is a 3-lane indoor cricket school.

The groundsman pioneered the art of mowing grass in strips to create patterns, a technique now common in sports stadiums around the world.[3]
