Merry Christmas: Festive Wishes From Middlesex Cricket

Merry Christmas from every single one of us here at the club office, the training ground, and the main dressing room! As the winter snow rolls in, the boys have taken a quick break from their rigorous pre-season schedules to film some exclusive, heartfelt holiday messages and share their personal family traditions directly with our amazing fanbase.

Merry Christmas to every Middlesex supporter: a message from the club

The end of the year is a natural moment to reflect  and to say Merry Christmas properly. Here is what the club wants to say to the 7,000+ members and wider supporter community before the calendar turns.

A year worth celebrating

The 2025 season delivered plenty to be proud of. Three Academy graduates made their first-team debuts in the County Championship, average home attendance rose to 4,200 per match  up from 3,600 in 2022  and the women’s and girls’ programme reached record participation numbers across London and Hertfordshire. Saying Merry Christmas this year comes with genuine reason to feel good about where the club is heading.

What is coming in 2026

The 2026 home schedule opens in late April with eight County Championship fixtures and eight Vitality Blast group-stage matches at Lord’s. Pre-season nets begin in February, with the squad announcement due in March. Members receive the full fixture calendar before general release another reason why joining before Christmas makes sense.

Merry Christmas gift guide: the best presents for cricket fans

Finding the right gift for a Middlesex supporter does not have to be complicated. The club offers three clear categories membership, merchandise, and hospitality each with options across a wide price range.

Gift membership: the present that runs from April to September

A Middlesex gift membership is the most enduring thing you can give a cricket fan. Junior membership starts at £30 for supporters aged 17 and under; adult membership from £85. Both include free entry to all home matches, priority ticketing, and a welcome pack dispatched before the first fixture. The gifting flow on the club website takes under three minutes and allows a custom activation date  so it lands on Christmas morning if that is what you want.

Junior (U18)£30Free entry, welcome pack, coaching day access
Adult£85Free entry, priority tickets, matchday discounts
Premium£180Pavilion access, squad dinners, dedicated liaison

Official merchandise from the club shop

The club shop carries Middlesex merchandise at every price point. Top sellers this festive season include the replica playing shirt (£65), the training jacket (£55), and the 2025 season highlights collection (£18). Shirt personalisation  squad number and name  is available for orders placed before 15 December to guarantee pre-Christmas delivery.

Orders over £50 qualify for free UK delivery. International tracked shipping starts from £12. All purchases made before 20 December are covered by the extended Christmas returns policy, valid through to 31 January.

Hospitality at Lord’s as a luxury gift

For a gift that creates a genuine memory, a hospitality package at Lord’s is the answer. T20 Blast packages start from £120 per person  covering pre-match catering, dedicated seating, and a host for the duration of play. County Championship packages start from £90 per person and offer a longer, more relaxed day at one of sport’s most iconic venues. Hospitality gifts are issued as a dated certificate redeemable against any available 2026 home fixture. The recipient selects the match; the club’s commercial team handles all booking arrangements within two working days.

Merry Christmas and early planning: getting ahead for the 2026 season

December is the smartest month to act on next season. Two options reward supporters who move early.

Early bird ticket packages

The club releases a limited early-bird allocation each December for members and mailing list subscribers. In 2025, the eight-match Championship bundle was available at 20% below standard pricing a saving of approximately £28 per adult across the package. The 2026 window follows the same structure and typically sells through within two to three weeks of opening. Signing up to the club mailing list via the official website is the only way to receive early-bird notification before the window opens to the wider public.

Junior membership  the Merry Christmas gift that pays off all summer

A junior membership purchased in December activates on 1 April, aligning precisely with the season start. At £30 for a full five-month season of home cricket, it works out at under £5 per fixture for a child attending regularly. Few gifts at this price point deliver equivalent value across the months that follow.
