In the summer of 2026, England and Wales will host the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup – during which some of the world’s best cricketers will battle it out at seven different venues. For those who aren’t aware, ‘T20’ is the 20-over, high-octane format of cricket, which sees batting sides attempting to score as quickly as possible.
The tournament takes place from 12 June to 5 July. As well as the England stars, spectators will have the chance to see fantastic sportswomen from Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies. You can purchase tickets by clicking here (subject to availability).
Camping is a relatively cheap and easy way to stay close to the action and also to travel around the UK, should you wish to take in a few matches. The following are Caravan and Motorhome Club touring campsites which you can visit with your caravan, campervan, motorhome or roof tent. To secure your spot, we recommend that you book early, as many campsites are busy during the summer months.

Lord’s in north London is widely referred to as ‘The Home of Cricket’ for a number of different reasons, but primarily because it is owned by the Marylebone Cricket Club, one of the world’s oldest, which established the laws of the game. The Club’s Abbey Wood campsite is a great base, as well as being a relatively affordable place to stay in the capital.
