Whether you are planning a milestone birthday, a beautiful wedding reception, or a professional corporate meeting, Oswestry Cricket Club offers a welcoming and picturesque setting in the heart of our community.
As one of the town’s longest-running sports clubs, we take immense pride in our facilities and our reputation for hosting unforgettable events. We offer two of the finest function rooms in Oswestry, both featuring dedicated private bars and the unique backdrop of our historic cricket ground.
The Mike Robinson Room: Our premier event space, perfect for larger celebrations. It comfortably seats between 50 and 110 guests and features a spacious layout with a dedicated dance floor area. There is ample room for a DJ or live band, along with designated spaces for buffets, cakes, and gifts. Guests also enjoy exclusive access to our west-facing veranda—the perfect spot to catch the Oswestry sunshine
The Gwilym Owen Room: An intimate and cosy alternative, ideal for smaller gatherings, private meetings, or wake services where a more personal atmosphere is required.
We strive to keep our community club accessible and affordable. Rates are tailored to your specific needs, with bookings starting from:
From £75 + VAT for the Gwilym Owen Room
From £150 + VAT for the Mike Robinson Room
To secure your date, a non-refundable room hire fee is required at the time of booking. For your convenience, we accept payments via cash, cheque, or all major debit and credit cards.
We are proud to hold a 5-Star Food Hygiene Rating from the Food Standards Agency. Whether you are using our in-house catering or simply enjoying a drink from our well-stocked bar (featuring local favourites from Stonehouse Brewery),you can be assured of the highest standards.
As a community-focused club situated in a residential area, our license and location mean we are generally unable to host 18th or 21st birthday parties. However, we are always happy to discuss specific requirements or extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis.
As a club run by dedicated volunteers, we will always go the extra mile to accommodate your requirements and make your event a success.
From the moment you secure your booking, our dedicated team is on hand to help you organise every detail. We pride ourselves on a professional yet personal service, allowing you to relax and enjoy the company of your guests while we take care of the logistics. Whether you need advice on local entertainment or help choosing the perfect menu, we are here to ensure your event runs seamlessly.
Our rooms are designed for flexibility. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a 25th anniversary, a wedding, a christening, or a large charity gala, we can adapt our seating and layouts to suit your vision.
State-of-the-Art Media: Both function rooms feature digital screens, perfect for sports-themed events or keeping an eye on the big game during a celebration.
Music & Dancing: Our Mike Robinson room boasts a generous dance floor with plenty of space for a live band, a DJ, or your own bespoke entertainment. The Gwilym Owen room is more intimate.
Alfresco Entertaining: During the warmer months, take advantage of our stunning outfield and veranda. It’s the perfect setting for summer BBQs, drinks receptions, or simply enjoying the tranquil views of the Stonehouse Oval.
The Mike Robinson Room is widely regarded as one of Oswestry’s premier corporate venues. With natural daylight, free parking, and a peaceful environment, it is the ideal setting for:
Large corporate conferences
Team-building seminars

Our goal is to make your celebration as unique as the club itself.

At Oswestry Cricket Club, we understand that life’s milestones deserve a setting as special as the occasion itself. From elegant wedding receptions and joyous christenings to lively birthday celebrations and family gatherings, we provide a versatile space that can be fully personalised to your vision.
Our clubhouse is renowned as one of Shropshire’s premier function spaces with exceptional Google and Trip advisor ratings. Set against the perfectly manicured backdrop of the Stonehouse Oval, our west-facing, glass-fronted room ensures your guests enjoy the very best of the Oswestry sunshine as they celebrate.
Once you have chosen us for your wedding, you can relax knowing your entire celebration can take place under one roof. We can seamlessly transition your space from a beautiful Wedding Breakfast into a vibrant Evening Reception, allowing you and your guests to simply enjoy the moment without the need for additional travel.
No two events are the same, and we believe your party should reflect your personality. Every booking is assigned a dedicated event specialist who will work closely with you to ensure every detail is covered. We handle the "how," so you can concentrate on the "who"—spending quality time with your friends and family.
We believe that no two celebrations should be the same. Every event at Oswestry Cricket Club is a blank canvas, and we promise to be by your side from the first arrival drink and canapé to the final taxi home.
Whether you want a "ready-to-go" package or a bespoke "DIY" approach, we are here to support you:
The Full Package: We can take the lead, arranging everything from professional evening entertainment and DJs to bespoke room decorations.
Coordinated Support: If you prefer to organise your own suppliers, we will work alongside them to ensure everything is perfectly coordinated on the day.
Our catering team doesn't believe in "set menus" that can't be changed. We want to help you design the perfect culinary experience for your guests:
Elegant Wedding Breakfasts tailored to your tastes.
Casual Evening Buffets or rustic Hog Roasts on the outfield.
Bespoke options: Quite literally, if you have a vision, we have the "can-do" attitude to make it happen.
You won't find a list of "strict must-haves" or rigid rules here. Our approach is refreshing, flexible, and entirely focused on your needs. Our only request is that, as a community club, you help us stay in the good books of our local residents by ensuring your guests depart quietly at the end of the night!
To ensure we provide the highest quality service for your event, we ask our guests to observe the following guidelines:
Catering Minimums: Our catering services are generally available for a minimum number of guests, depending on the type of event. However, as a community club, we pride ourselves on our flexibility—please talk to us about your specific requirements, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Final Guest Numbers: The quality of our food depends on precise planning. Therefore, we require confirmation of your final guest numbers 14 days prior to your event.
Fees & Charges: Once numbers are agreed upon and food is ordered, these confirmed numbers will be the minimum amount charged.
Accuracy: While we always strive to go the extra mile, we cannot be held responsible for food shortages if the number of attendees exceeds the figures provided to us in advance.
Payment: To ensure your booking runs smoothly, we require all agreed fees to be settled alongside your final confirmation of numbers (14 days before the event).
The quality of our catering depends on every event being planned separately, so once food has been ordered, numbers agreed prior to this will be charged for. If we are not informed of extra guests, we can't be responsible for shortages of food at the event.
We require confirmation of numbers 14 days before the date of any booking, along with the agreed fees.
To finish off the T&Cs, here is a professional way to word the cancellation policy. It makes it clear that these charges aren't just "penalties," but are there to cover the genuine costs of the volunteer-run kitchen and staff.
As a community club, once a booking is confirmed, we immediately begin allocating our dedicated staff and kitchen resources to your event. To cover these committed costs, the following cancellation charges apply:
Standard Cancellation: A minimum charge of 20% of the total booking value applies to all confirmed bookings.
Late Cancellation (Within 14 Days): Cancellations made within two weeks of the event date will incur a 50% charge.
Final Week Cancellation (Within 7 Days): Cancellations made within one week of the event date will be charged at 100% of the total booking value.
We believe in a transparent and straightforward booking process. Our team will discuss the specific payment schedule for your event during your initial consultation to ensure it meets your needs.
Final Settlement: Unless alternative arrangements have been agreed upon in writing prior to the event, final payment is required 14 days before your function.
Payment Methods: For your convenience, we accept payments via cash, cheque, or major debit and credit cards.
